Forsyth County to add $1,006 in state registration fees to Perkinson Law Firm contract
Summary
Ashley Matthews said the board will consider a contract amendment adding $1,006 in principal and lobbyist registration fees for Perkinson Law Firm PA—$503 for principal registration and $503 for lobbyist registration; item is scheduled for formal action on Jan. 29.
Ashley Matthews, clerk to the board, briefed a resolution to amend the county’s contract with Perkinson Law Firm PA to include state registration fees associated with lobbying at the North Carolina General Assembly.
Matthews said the amendment covers $1,006 in total registration fees, broken down as $503 for the principal registration fee and $503 for the lobbyist registration fee. She offered to follow up with commissioners about whether registration fees are shared among a firm’s clients.
Why it matters: The amendment covers routine registration costs related to state lobbying and does not change the contract’s substantive scope; the fees are administrative but require formal authorization as a contract amendment.
What’s next: The amendment was briefed on Jan. 27 and is on the Jan. 29 agenda for consideration. No formal action or vote was taken at the briefing.
