Authorization
REQUEST: Public Works Department/Stormwater Division Requesting Approval of
Supplemental Appropriation from Stormwater Fund Reserves to the Legal Services
Line Code
PURPOSE: The purpose of this agenda item is to provide funds in the Legal Services line code in the
amount of $40,000 for the Jones vs. City of Winter Springs litigation.
CONSIDERA TIONS:
The Stormwater Utility Fund Other Legal Services line code needs a supplemental
appropriation to cover current and future legal expenditures for FY 06/07 in the Jones vs. City of
Winter Springs litigation over the stormwater utility fee. The approved budget had no funds in
the Legal Services line code based on the historical lack of need for legal services by the
stormwater utility fund.
To date, approximately $17,000 has been spent for legal services. This has created a
negative balance in this line code. The total litigation cost is unknown at this time.
RECOMMENDA TION:
It is recommended that the City Commission authorize a supplemental
appropriation of $40,000 from the Stormwater Utility fund balance into the Legal Services
line code (3800-53111).
FUNDING:
The Stormwater Utility has a projected fund balance of $300,000 for the fiscal year ending
September 30,2007.
ATTACHMENTS: None
