DATE: 6120116 TO: Council Members FROM: Carl Falotico SUBJECT: Law Dept. Budget Reallocation Background Information: This spring the Law Dept. was approved for $40,000 in CDBG funding by the City Council. The Law Dept. also historically has hired contractors to help with projects, and paid for them out of the fees for service line. Evaluation!Analysis: By combining the revenue from CDBG with the amount paid to contractors, we can support a fulltime position for an entry level attomey. The change would not have an impact on the budget.
