CityCouncil | 2005-07-19 | 29 | The City Attorney stated said matter could be included in the resolution. Mayor Johnson and Councilmember Matarrese stated Council should discuss the matter first. Mayor Johnson suggested the resolution discussed tonight be brought back and a separate discussion be held on delegating AP&T's legal counsel. Vice Mayor Gilmore inquired as to the difference between acting by resolution and by motion. Mayor Johnson stated resolutions are easier for City staff to track. The City Clerk noted resolutions are permanent records of the City Council. Councilmember deHaan stated the proposal includes quarterly reporting requirements; that he would prefer monthly reporting. Mayor Johnson stated that monthly reporting was acceptable to her, including the current budget on the status of the overall litigation contingency budget for not only Risk Management, but also AP&T. Vice Mayor Gilmore stated the Council needs all of the numbers for all of the different entities that are part of legal budget the Council appropriated. Councilmember Daysog stated the City Attorney's office has always delivered; the challenge is there is a desire to have more involvement in oversight. Vice Mayor Gilmore concurred; stated that the action is not due to a deficiency in the City Attorney's office, rather it is the Council following what the Charter sets out as its role and bringing practices in line. Mayor Johnson concurred; inquired whether the matter could return at the next Council meeting. The City Attorney responded in the affirmative.
