Body

WHEREAS, by Ordinance 5062, dated December 6, 2017, the Legislature did establish certain Reserve Accounts for certain budget lines within the 2018 County budget; and,

                     

WHEREAS, there are numerous disputes between the County Executive and the Legislature regarding the validity of Ordinance 5062, relating to its construction and interpretation, and multiple related issues; and,

 

WHEREAS, the County Counselor has requested this Resolution and approved it as to form, without waiving any previous position taken in the memorandum of the County Counselor dated December 22, 2017, regarding Ordinance 5062, and without waiving any position taken in other legal memorandums provided by the Office of the County Counselor; and,

 

WHEREAS, the Legislature recognizes that funds identified as Reserve Funds for Legal Services in the adopted 2018 Budget are required to be designated for use by the County Counselor in order for the County Counselor to conduct the civil legal business of the County; and,

WHEREAS, the County Counselor has requested that the funds be posted to his office’s 2018 budget to restore salaries for vacant positions and contractual service funding critical to the office’s ability to conduct the County’s civil law business; and,

 

WHEREAS the Legislature agrees that funds described in this Resolution should be properly posted to certain contractual services budget line items in the County Counselor’s budget for calendar year 2018 by the County’s Finance and Purchasing Department; now therefore,

 

WHEREAS, the Legislature further agrees that it will transfer funds within the 2018 budget to the County Counselor in amounts sufficient to restore salaries for vacant positions in the office, upon receipt of notice that offers of such employment to fill such positions have been accepted; now therefore,
