FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT (IF THIS IS A BUDGET TRANSFER, YOU MUST ATTACH THE BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FORM):
The City Council budgeted $13,000.00 for legal services. However, $3,000.00 had to be transferred to State Bar mandatory attorney training for Kay Macuil, City Attorney and Glenn Gimbut, Assistant City Attorney, to maintain their bar licenses. There was a slip-up in the final budget, accidentally leaving zero budgeted for mandatory training purposes.
