R: Amend/Approve The
committee engaged in extensive discussion about whether the bill was properly
introduced for consideration given the Ordinance Code requirement that legislation
proposing a pension benefit enhancement may not be introduced without a
certification that the pension plan in question is at least 90% actuarially
funded. Chief Deputy General Counsel
Cindy Laquidara indicated that any potential defect could be cured by means
of an amendment and a 2/3 vote of Council.
The committee discussed the sustainability of the existing and
proposed enhanced pension obligations given the current economic climate;
Sherry Hall of the Mayor’s Office stated that a balanced budget would be
presented to the Council in July, but it is too early in the budget
development process to know where the additional funding for next year’s
pension obligations will come from.
Several committee members expressed the difficulty of having to choose
between the conflicting obligations of keeping the City’s word to the
corrections officers mutually agreed to in collective bargaining and also
protecting the best interests of the taxpayers in difficult economic times. AMEND/APPROVE 6-1 (Yarborough
opposed) Amendment
identifies this would be an exception to 90% funded status for Mayor’s
introduction and Council approval requiring 2/3 vote by Council. |

Assistant
General Counsel Jason Teal explained that the case the firm was hired to
handle was conducted in an extremely compressed time frame and required a
great deal of work to defend the City’s interests. In response to a question Mr. Teal stated
that no one with the City had specifically authorized Greenberg Traurig to
exceed the $400,000 compensation cap, but the firm was doing what it had to
do to accomplish the City’s goal of defeating the permit application. The additional $225,000 being requested is
for a combination of expert witness fees ($100,000) and the law firm’s
internal expenses ($125,000). AMEND/APPROVE 7-0 1.
Reduce the appropriation from $225,000 to $100,000 to pay only expert witness
fees, not additional attorney fees. 2. Reduce the maximum indebtedness from
$625,000 to $500,000 (excluding appeals) for outside legal counsel. |

General Counsel Tom Beverly explained that the three firms handling this work
for the City were chosen by a solicitation of interest in 2001 and the
billing rates have not changed since that time. The Office of General Counsel has determined
that these are fair rates, possibly somewhat less than the firms charge to
non-City clients, and were established by negotiation. The committee expressed its desire that the
OGC open up the process for additional interested firms to participate in the
work. AMEND/APPROVE 7-0 The
amendment directs the Office of General Counsel to solicit expressions of

maintaining the district’s legal status when it serves no purpose. In answer to questions from the committee
Mr. Reingold indicated that the CDD has taken no actions that would produce

levying of special assessments) either on the part of the district or, in the
