Commission discusses retaining legal counsel and approves $100 invoice for advice
Summary
Commissioners discussed options for retaining outside counsel and voted to pay a $100 invoice from Pat Henry for informal legal advice; staff will solicit resumes and engagement letters for a possible retainer.
Commissioners discussed the need for retained legal counsel during the April 16 meeting and approved payment of a $100 invoice from Pat Henry for recent informal advice.
President Buck said he had discussed issues with Pat Henry in an informal capacity and presented an invoice for $100 that he asked the commission to approve. A motion to pay the invoice was made and seconded; commissioners voted in favor and directed staff to pursue options for a retainer. Commissioners discussed asking candidates for a retainer to submit resumes and an engagement letter covering a one-year retainer, likely beginning with the next fiscal year on July 1.
Staff will circulate a letter requesting information from prospective counsel and will bring responses to the next meeting. Commissioners noted there is no statutory solicitation requirement for contracts under approximately $10,000.
