PERTH AMBOY – 11/21/16 Caucus – Ordinance No. 4 An Ordinance to amend an Ordinance entitled “Powers and Duties of the Director of Law.”

Councilman Fernando Irizarry had questions and concerns. He said, “This ordinance changes the hours of the Law Director to five days a week instead of three, but I don’t see that they are adjusting the salary. Will the salary change and by how much? And when will this change happen?”

Councilman Fernando Gonzalez spoke next and said, “We should have our own in-house attorney. It’s a conflict of interest when a Law Director hands over work to another lawyer in the same firm.”

Acting Law Director Raineone responded to Gonzalez’s concerns, “The Business Administrator and the Chief Financial Officer reviews my submitted bills.”

Fernando Irizarry finished his remarks and wondered, “Who is going to pay the benefits and the salaries for this individual?”
