RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing the Water and
Wastewater appropriation by $125,000.00 and decreasing the Unreserved,
Undesignated Water and Wastewater Fund balance by the same amount.
2. Authorize the City Manager to continue employment of Kelly, Hart and Hallman,
Attorneys At Law, as an outside counsel to provide special expertise and
assistance in the Arlington Rate Case and litigation, in an amount not to exceed
$125,000.00, and
DISCUSSION:
On July 16, 1991, (M&C G-9219), the City Council authorized the retention of Kelly,
Hart, and Hallman as outside counsel to assist the City Attorney on an interim basis
in the preparation and presentation of the City's interest in matters related to water
and wastewater issues. The contract was continued May 12, 1992 (M&C G-9646) and
October 20, 1992 (G-9894).
The proposed continued service will be utilized for the ongoing litigation and rate
case with the City of Arlington. It is estimated that the representation will cost
approximately $125,000.00 through the end of this fiscal year.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Fiscal Services certifies that upon adoption of the supplemental
appropriation ordinance, funds required for this expenditure will be available in the
Water and Sewer Operating Fund.
