Why This Vote Matters

The council unanimously approved giving two outside law firms additional money and time to complete their work for the City Attorney's Office. Each firm will receive an extra $50,000 and their contracts will be extended through December 2005. This means the city will spend $100,000 more on outside legal help beyond what was originally budgeted. The approval was routine, with all present members voting yes and no discussion of concerns about the additional costs.
