An encouraging sign...

Tomorrow night's (8/20) City Commission agenda includes an item that calls for the review of the City Attorney. As you may already know, the city contracted with the Torcivia law firm for legal services instead of an in-house city attorney. The above chart is from the back-up material for the item. Interesting to see the figures and that the trend is down in terms of fees. Note too the amounts for the special services provided by outside counsel. It would be nice to have a breakdown of the previous years' expenditures on outside legal costs and which cases were involved.
