CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
At last report, the authorized amount available to draw from
reserves to pay outside counsel bills per the Mayor and Council ' s
action of December 7, 1992, is $163, 969. The City Attorney' s
office has billings in hand in the amount of $266, 702.73. These
billings would exhaust the authorized draw and leave a deficit of
approximately $100, 000. Thus, the proposed action would cover
these bills and leave approximately $100, 000 for payment of future
bills.
• It is noted that EDA will be billed for their share of certain
cases. The Agency has an established budget item for litigation
expenses with an original balance of $100, 000. The amount of the
unexpended balance in this fund will be presented to the Mayor and
Council at the time of the meeting. EDA' s portion of certain cases
will probably cause their original amount of $100,000 to be
exceeded.
