FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal year 2023-2024 budget included a line item for lobbyist services in the amount of $25,000.00 (account # 100-1010-1043). The contract with JEA & Associates was for an amount not to exceed $84,000. Therefore, an additional $59,000.00 must be appropriated to fulfill the contract. The proposed funding source is the general fund.
