Action:City Clerk Hines read the title,and City Manager Russo reported noting that based on
discussion at the first budget hearing he has thoroughly reviewed the Ethics opinion on how
we should handle the Special Projects Manager for the study and work on the Cultural Arts
Foundation that was proposed in the budget. He is going with the recommendation of the City
Attorney and with regards to that,the only proposal he has made on changing the budget is to
move the allocation from the Personnel Services line of the City Commission (511) to the
5317 Professional Services line of the operating budget and to authorize him to move forward
with entering into a Consultant Agreement.
Public Speakers: None
Commissioner Levin said then that we are giving the City Manager the authority to enter into
the agreement notwithstanding the amount, and so that would not come back to the
Commission? City Manager Russo said it is not to exceed the amount, and it will not come
back to the Commission again unless he has to change something. City Attorney Ottinot said
for procedure, if we have a motion to approve the Manager's budget change, then after the
millage and budget, we can have a motion approving the request that the Manager negotiate a
Consultant Agreement with Lynn Dannheisser in an amount not to exceed $72,844.00, and
requiring the City Attorney to review it for form and legal sufficiency.
Mayor Edelcup opened the public hearing and being there were no speakers closed the
hearing. He noted the amendment moving the line item from personnel services to
professional services in the City Commission(511)budget,and with that one sole adjustment
he entertained a motion.
