A RESOLUTION O~F THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ADOPTING THE SECOND
AMENDMENT TO THE GENERAL FUND FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2004~2005
BUDGET TO AMEND THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE BUDGET IN
THE AMOUNT OF $240,000.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
The second amendment to the General Fund FY 2004~2005 budget appropriates an
additional $240,000 to cover unbudgeted outside counsel expenses incurred by the City
Attorney's Office from the Citywide Operating Contingency Account.
The City Attorney, pursuant to Article 3, of the Miami Beach City Charter, acts as the legal
adviser for the municipality and all of its officers. The office is presently budgeted at twelve
full time attorneys and one part time attorney. In the normal conduct of its business, this
office 'contracts the services of outside legal counsel in various specialized areas. This
fiscal year we have incurred unbudgeted outside legal costs due to unforeseen expenses
incurred in the areas of: Environmental and land use litigation, administrative and
transactional expenses, arbitration and protracted union negotiations. These expenses
total $240,000 in excess of the current FY05 Adopted Budget.
More specifically, the increase in expenses has come about due to litigation having as its
base a land use dispute; litigation resulting from cost recovery.efforts in golf course
contamination; administrative proceedings for the North Beach Corridor Project; labor
arbitrations, Public Employees Relations Commission (PERC) proceedings and protracted
labor negotiations. In arriving at the required $240,000 adjustment, this office has already
transferred and applied $50,000 from salary savings.
The attached Resolution will allow enactment of the second amendment to the General
Fund Budget to adjust the City Attorney departmental appropriation within the General
Fund budget. This action is necessary to comply with Florida Statutes which stipulate that
we may not expend more than our appropriations provide.
