Of <br />this amount, $35,000 consists of funds solely available for the Human Resources Department, leaving <br />$76,280 for the City Attorney's Office. A total of $33,263 will be deducted from the $76,280, leaving <br />the City Attorney's Office with $43,017 for outside legal counsel services. <br /> <br />Service Level Impacts <br />The primary mission of the City Attorney's Office is to provide expeditious and effective legal advice. <br />From time to time, legal issues arise requiring particular legal knowledge and experience. In those <br />instances, the services of outside legal counsel are called upon to supplement the City Attorney's <br />Office. The primary adverse impact resulting from the proposed budget reduction would be to <br />further reduce this office's access to outside legal counsel services and extending the response time <br />for providing legal services. <br />
