Background
At the Regular Commission Meeting held on July 1, 2024, the City Commission approved by consensus that the City Attorney will be paid for no more than 40 hours a week until the effective date of her resignation letter, September 30, 2024. There is currently an invoice due for work done for the month of June in the amount of $38,203.50. There are currently no funds remaining on the purchase order to pay this invoice.
