La Porte Redevelopment Commission approves resolution to transfer funds to cover expected professional services
Summary
The La Porte Redevelopment Commission voted unanimously July 30 to transfer funds within its budget to cover anticipated professional and legal consulting fees through the end of the year; the specific amount and originating line items were not specified in the meeting record.
At its July 30 meeting, the La Porte Redevelopment Commission approved a resolution to transfer funds to cover expected professional services fees through the remainder of the year.
A staff member identified in the meeting as Mr. Phillips told commissioners the transfer is “necessary just to basically cover the expected professional services fees that we anticipate through the end of the year,” noting the commission has used financial and legal consulting assistance on various projects. “It’s always hard to judge exactly how many professional fees we're gonna have in a calendar year,” Phillips said.
A commissioner moved and the commission voted unanimously, 5-0, to approve the resolution. The meeting record shows the resolution passed without conditions; the record does not specify the dollar amount to be transferred, the originating line items, or which professional firms will receive funds.
The commissioners present and recorded as voting in favor were Brian Chalick, Damon Gassaway, J.T. McDermott, Jenna Francesconi and Betsy Barkinson. The vote was recorded as five in favor, none opposed.
The resolution was presented as a budgetary housekeeping action to ensure sufficient funds for anticipated professional services; no additional direction to staff was recorded in the meeting minutes.
