Harbor legal costs prompt new line-item proposal in Depoe Bay draft budget
Summary
Committee members asked staff to add a harbor-specific legal-expenses line after staff cited recent attorney invoices (one check noted at $4,830); members discussed budgeting $50,000–$100,000 for anticipated legal work.
Members of the Depoe Bay budget committee asked staff to add a specific legal-expenses line for the harbor after staff reported recent legal bills associated with harbor issues. Council member (S6) noted an accounts-payable entry for the city attorney of $4,830 and recommended increasing the harbor legal allocation to provide cover for litigation and legal work related to harbor operations.
Kim (S2) said legal expenses have been significant and the draft will be updated to show a clearer legal-expense line; the committee discussed amounts between $50,000 and $100,000 and asked staff to present a revised line item with supporting detail for council consideration.
