Board approves up to $11,250 contract with Barnes & Thornburg for unemployment personnel consultation
Summary
Monroe County approved an engagement letter with Barnes & Thornburg for legal consultation on an unemployment personnel matter, not to exceed $11,250 and anticipated to take about 10 billable hours (cap set at 15 hours).
The Monroe County Board of Commissioners authorized an engagement letter with the Barnes & Thornburg law firm for consultation on an unemployment personnel matter, with a contract amount not to exceed $11,250.
A county staff member presented the late-submitted engagement letter from Barnes & Thornburg and said the work is anticipated to take up to 10 billable hours but the contract sets a cap at 15 billable hours, which is the basis for the not-to-exceed amount of $11,250. The county indicated the charge will come from the county general fund (fund number 1000).
Commissioner Lynette Hillroom moved the motion to approve the contract. Commissioner Madera voted in favor; Commissioner Jones was absent. No public comment was recorded. Commissioners expressed approval of the firm; no amendments or additional directions were made.
Staff will proceed to finalize the engagement consistent with the approved not-to-exceed amount.
