In September of 1990, the City Council authorized the City Manager to place these consultants on an approved vendor list. During the last program year, which ended on June 30, 1991, two of the four consultants were used by the department. The law firm of Chamberlain and Later and the NAB were utilized. Total funds expended for both were $21,872.00 for services rendered. The item before you recommends renewal of this list for a second year. While no estimate of the amount of expenditures which might be incurred per firm is available, Council approval limits the total cost to $50,000. A additional information, please let me know.
