TO:City of New Port Richey City Council

RE:Re-Appointment of Timothy P. Driscoll, Esq. as City Attorney

REQUEST:

The request is for City Council to authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Timothy P. Driscoll, Esq. to provide the services of City Attorney with an effective date of September 6, 2021.




DISCUSSION
:

On September 6, 2016 the City Council entered into an agreement with Timothy P. Driscoll, Esq. to serve as the city attorney. The Agreement was for a one (1) year term and included an option for the City Council to approve up to two (2) one year terms.  The agreement was amended on March 7, 2018, September 5, 2019 and October 20, 2020. If this item is approved the term of the agreement is for one (1) year with an effective date of September 6, 2021. 

Mr. Driscoll has handled the city’s business very professionally and with great distinction.  It is therefore recommended that you consider this agenda item favorably.  Incidentally, Mr. Driscoll is not requesting a wage increase and therefore all provisions outlined in the original agreement will remain the same.




RECOMMENDATION:

The recommendation is for the City Council to approve the Fourth Amendment to the Agreement for a term of one year.




BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:

The funding to support this request is provided for in the FY 2021-2022 City Council and CRA budgets.
