OUTSIDE COUNSEL EXPENDITURES FISCAL YEAR 2013

The Honorable Budget & Finance Committee of the City of Los Angeles

Room 1010, City Hall 200 North Spring Street Los Angeles, California 90012

Honorable Members:

Attached please find the Citywide Outside Counsel Expenditures Report for Fiscal Year 2013 as of March, 2013 (Third Quarter). Pursuant to City Council approval of July 27, 2011, this report now captures expenditures on a quarterly, rather than bimonthly, basis. As directed by Council, the City Attorney met with the GAO to discuss appropriate revisions to this expenditures report. As a result of that meeting, General Funded contract expenditures are now separated from Special funded ones and the recap is organized by client department rather than paying department. There is also the addition of a "Status of General Fund Appropriations" which shows any previous draws from the Unappropriated Balance outside counsel line item for the year and the remaining balance in that line item. As before, information is included for all City departments regardle§S of funding source and expenditure data is provided on a per contract basis and includes appropriation amounts and individual contract balances. We will continue to work with the various departments on a regular basis to ensure that cost savings measur~.s are applied and that the information we report is accurate.

' . . .

I look forward to working with you as we continue to refine and enhance the City's management of outside counsel and its tracking and reporting of outside counsel data. If you have any questions, please contact Assistant City Attorney Anne Haley at 213-978-7009.
