Resolution 2012 -58 will authorize a budget transfer from salaries to professional services within
the Legal Department. The budget transfer is needed due to the hiring of outside legal counsel to
represent the City during the recruitment and transition of the new City attorney. A
supplemental appropriation is not needed as excess funds are available in the Legal Department's
salaries because of the gap in service created by the departure of the prior City attorney and the
start of the new City attorney.
It is anticipated this budget transfer will be sufficient for the legal services provided and will
leave sufficient budget for Legal Department wages for the remainder of FYl3.
