FRANK CIPULLY, 14 BRITTANY LANE: He stated he would like some information with regard to Resolution 452R-02, which is hiring a labor attorney for contract year 2002. He asked if that was specifically for the PBA? He then asked what the cost to the taxpayer was? Mayor Broderick stated that this was for all the contracts and the cost was about $125 – 135 an hour.

GARY BLACK, 76 LEWIS LANE: He addressed the Mayor and said regarding the labor attorney, you and I are both Teamsters, why can't the administration walk into negotiations without an attorney? Let the administrator do it. Then if it comes to an impasse bring in an attorney. Mayor Broderick said it was the decision of this Committee to do it that way. Deputy Mayor Krakower added that cheaper sometimes cost more.
