Board recommends hiring outside counsel with $100,000 cap for pending court matter
Summary
The Macomb County Board of Commissioners authorized hiring outside counsel for a court matter and recommended the appointment to the full board with a fee cap of $100,000; the motion passed unanimously (13-0).
At the meeting the board voted to recommend hiring outside counsel for a pending court matter with a fee cap of $100,000.
Chair Sabatini asked for a recommendation to hire outside counsel (the transcript references a firm name expressed as "Daikem Agasset, PLC, LC" and cites a court case number in the record as "25Dash453" and adjacent lines reference "25 dash 4 51"). Commissioner Lucido moved to accept corporation counsel's recommendation to hire outside counsel with a cap of $100,000; the motion was supported and the board approved the request by voice vote 13 to 0.
The motion directed county counsel to proceed with selecting and contracting outside counsel subject to the stated cap. No further contract details or fee schedules were described in the public meeting record.
