The controversy over Salisbury's legal budget for the remainder of the current fiscal year will come up for scrutiny at night's City Council meeting.
The Council is set to take a second and final vote on a measure that would add $30,000 for the City Attorney.
However, at an April 16, meeting, Council members Laura Mitchell and Shanie Shields received a spread sheet showing that an additional $100,000 is needed to cover legal bills for the rest of the fiscal year.
Director of Internal Services Gerri Moore estimated that a total of $240,438 is needed to cover the year's legal expenses -- $70,000 more than the $30,000 up for a final vote tonight.
Mitchell and Shields will review whether or not legal services are being used in a responsible manner, before they approving the new budget.
