OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY

JEROI�E J. SEGAL
MEMORANDUM
T0: Robert A. Horrisberger , Sr.
Finance - Accoun 'ng
FROM: Jerome J. Segal
City Attorney
SUBJECT: Trust Fund 50035 - Litigation Trust Fund
- Fund Balance 12/3�-/75 - ��75 , 341.92
In response to your memorandum of April 5, 1976, we
make the following proposal for closing out the balance
in the fund.
�� � ��
�, Cl� With respect to the moneys collected under City of St.
� Paul v. Harper & Row Publishers , et al. , of the sum of
#A�S°� �28,6'75. 00, it is proposed that half be remitted to
��, Independent School District No. 625 . I have discussed
�!/'� oN the matter with Mr. Richard Battis , attorney for the
��3 School District , and he agrees to this settlement for
� (�(, recovery on the part of the School District. When this
� law suit was pursued and settlement agre�d upon, there
�I11 was no separation of the amounts sought for recovery on
behalf of the district and on behalf of the city. Be-
cause of the immense complexitt�r of the suit and the time
involved, it would seem that this division of the settle-
ment figure is a fair one , an.d we recommend that the sum
of �14, 337. 50 be remitted to the school district as its
recovery under the law suit .
In answer to your questions , be advised that we are un-
aware of any unpaid obligations incurred in prosecuting
suits of this type as listed in the resolution, C. F. No.
243606.
The City Attorney' s office presently has a "Mediation
Expense Account, " No. 09073, which is designed primarily
for unforeseen legal expense, such as for hiring outside
counsel in cases where there is a conflict of interest
as between City departments , where the City Attorney

cannot represent all departments or agencies involved.
For instance , there is pending a suit involving one of
our own employees where it was necessary to hire outside
counsel. When we asked for an appropriation for this
account, we of course had no real idea of what would be
expected as to expenditures , and the amount of �4, 000
was appropriated by the council to cover these expendi-
tures in 1976. Expenditures have already exceeded the
appropriation, and based on our experience in the first
quarter and to date , we respectfully request that of
the balance in the Litigation Trust Fund Account , the
sum of �24,000 be appropriated to the Mediation Expense
Account.
We further propose that of the remaining balance in the
fund, approximately the sum of �5,000 be appropriated
to the capital expenditures account of the City Attorney' s
office for the purchase of certain equipment and furniture
needed by the office .
Since we are unaware of any presently pending obligations
in suits of this type , we see no reason for not closing
out the balance of the fund.
