Middletown City Council approves new legal services contract with Frost Brown Todd LLP

The Middletown City Council convened a special meeting on March 11, 2025, to address key administrative changes, including legal services for the city. The meeting began with a moment of meditation followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, after which the council moved to accept the special meeting documents.

A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to an executive session, where council members discussed the appointment, employment, and compensation of public employees. Following this closed session, the council returned to open session to make important decisions regarding legal representation.

The council voted unanimously to terminate all contracts for legal services with Brickler & Eckler LLP, which included the position of law director and economic development services. Subsequently, they approved a new contract with Frost Brown Todd LLP to provide all legal services and serve as the city's law director.

The meeting concluded with a reminder of the next regular city council meeting scheduled for March 18, 2025, at 5:30 PM. This session marks a pivotal shift in the city's legal representation, reflecting ongoing efforts to enhance governance and service delivery in Middletown.
