CITY MANAGER'S REPORT • Praised staff, especially Recreation Division staff, for their quick and innovative thinking in dealing with weather issues during Friday night's event in Lake Concord Park, providing an opportunity for the concert to take place inside for those who wanted to attend, and turning what could have been an otherwise disappointing situation into something special. 15. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT A. City Attorney Billing Rate Consumer Price Index (CPI) Increase Staff presentation: City Attorney Katie Reischmann stated that in 2015 the City Commission had approved increasing the City Attorney rated based on the CPI (Consumer Price Index). The CPI is currently at 5.6 which would mean a rate of $195 for the City Attorney billing rate; however, since it is so high and will go higher, Ms. Reischmann advised she would gladly accept an increase to $190 per hour instead. She expressed appreciation for serving as the City Attorney and for the increase in her rate, and stated she really enjoys working with the City Commission and City staff. Advised she has once again, for the fifth or sixth time in a row, been named as a Super Lawyer for state, local and county governments, and is one of fewer than fifteen in the State of Florida. Budget Impact: Funds will be budgeted accordingly in the City Attorney Legal Services account #001-
