FRANK BOYLES, CITY MANAGER
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF CONTINGENCY FUND ALLOCATION FOR
FINAL PAYMENT TO LARKIN HOFFMAN LAW FIRM FOR SPECIAL
SERVICES RENDERED ON INDIAN ISSUES
AUGUST 16, 1993
At the April 2 and 3 workshop the Council directed that Jerry Seck, of the
law firm of Larkin, Hoffman and Daley, be retained as special counsel for
the City on Indian issues. Mr. Seck was to work with Prior Lake on the two
sewer agreements requested by the Dakota community and work toward
the completion of a Fee in Lieu of Taxes agreement. On July 6, 1993 I
received City Council authorization to expend up to $10,000 from
contingency for legal fees incurred in this pursuit.
The sewer agreements and Fee in Lieu agreements have now been finally
drafted and executed. The total cost for Mr. Seck's services have
amounted to $17,406.30. This exceeds the City Council's previous
authorization by $7,406.30. I am requesting that the City Council
authorize an additional allocation from the contingency fund to provide for
final payment for these services.
The City has received the services for which we have been billed. Mr.
Seck's efforts were fruitful, both with respect to the sewer agreements and
Fee in Lieu of Taxes agreement.
Council has the following alternatives:
1. Authorize an expenditure from the contingency account of
$7,406.30.
2. Authorize an expenditure from other sources for this purpose.
RECOMMENDATION: I recommend that the City Council authorize an expenditure of $7,406.30
from contingency for final payment for Mr. Seck's services.
ACTION REQUIRED: Motion to authorize the allocation of $7,406.30 from the contingency
fund to provide final payment to Larkin, Hoffman and Daly for Indian
affairs issues.
