want to check into.......message.

Good morning Keith,
I have finally received information requested from the city archives
department as noted below and I believe it is something you should check into as
far as departmental costs increases goes. We as a city cannot afford for these
legal costs to continue to rise in the manner in which they have from year to
year as you will see below.
A/ City Solicitor and Legal Services/Outside Legal Services
2010 = $114,000.00 expended
2011= $347,000.00 expended
Note: This tripled in cost from year to year
B/ Human Resources Outside Legal Fees
2010= $95,300.00 expended
2011= $146,933.00 expended
Note: This is 1 and 1/2 times greater year to year
Finance and Corporate Services Outside Legal Fees
Note: These costs relate to tax registration activities and some costs are
recovered through property taxes.
In 2010 we paid out $38,025.07 in order to recover $26,888.13 at a net cost
to the city of
$11,136.94!! ( would you spend your
money in this fashion??)
In 2011 we paid out $19,958.71 in order to recover $18,248.64 at a net cost
to the city of
$1,710.07!! ( would you spend your
money in this fashion??)
In closing please advise via return email your
comments and or concerns regarding the above information.
Sincerely,
Jim Gamble
Thunder Bay
