The Defiance City Council on Aug. 12 approved a one-year agreement for the city law department to provide misdemeanor prosecution services for the Village of Hicksville and separately approved a one-time stipend for law department employees to cover the added workload.
Council’s law director, Mister O'Donnell, told members the agreement was proposed after Hicksville’s village prosecutor resigned and that the city drafted a one-year representation agreement to see whether the arrangement would work. “The village would pay the city $15,000 for that year,” O'Donnell said during the meeting.
