Zoning board unanimously agrees to pursue and approve new solicitor contract
Summary
Following an executive session, the Erie Zoning Hearing Board moved to pursue and formally approve a solicitor contract recommended from an RFP process; the motion passed by unanimous consent.
The Erie Zoning Hearing Board announced an executive session to consider proposals for a new zoning hearing board solicitor after the prior solicitor resigned. Board staff reported an RFP was issued and an individual responded and was interviewed; the board expressed unanimous consent to pursue a contract with that candidate.
After the executive session, a board member moved “to formally approve the contract” and a colleague seconded the motion. The board then called members in favor and recorded a unanimous affirmative vote. The attorney identified on the record during the meeting was Lydia Caparosa, described as an attorney for McDonald, Illig, Jones (as spoken in the meeting).
The board tabled approval of the December meeting minutes pending finalization of the solicitor contract and minutes preparation by the newly approved solicitor. No contract terms, compensation, or firm name beyond the on-the-record attorney identification were discussed in the minutes.
