Summary
DeKalb County Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the 2025 attorney fee agreement for Andrew Cruz; staff said terms remain the same and extra, out‑of‑meeting work is billed at $150 per hour plus paralegal expenses.
The DeKalb County Planning Commission voted to approve a 2025 attorney fee agreement with Andrew Cruz.
Staff said the contract mirrors last year’s arrangement and recommended approval. "So everything stayed the same from last year," staff said, noting that per‑meeting and extra work is charged at $150 per hour plus paralegal expenses.
Commissioners moved and seconded the recommendation and conducted a roll call vote. All commissioners present voted yes; the item passed and will remain in effect for 2025. Meredith Wright administered the roll call.
The action was procedural: the commission approved the retainer/fee arrangement for counsel and did not attach additional conditions or amendments at the meeting.
Next steps: the agreement will be executed per the county’s contracting process and staff said they would coordinate scheduling for any early‑year legal support.
