Committee renews cooperative legal-services agreement with Leslie Hagstrom at $158/hour
Summary
The Ways and Means Committee approved a one-year renewal of a purchase-of-services cooperative agreement to retain attorney Leslie Hagstrom for child support enforcement work at $158 per hour; staff said Hagstrom typically provides about 6–7 hours every one-to-two weeks.
The Allegany County Ways and Means Committee on Feb. 18 authorized a one-year renewal of a cooperative purchase-of-services agreement with attorney Leslie Hagstrom to provide legal services for the child support enforcement unit when in-house counsel or the Department of Social Services cannot provide representation.
The County Attorney told the committee the agreement would allow both the attorney’s office and the Department of Social Services to use Hagstrom’s services on an as-needed basis. The contract rate was stated as $158 per hour and the term as one year. The attorney estimated Hagstrom generally provides services "either once a week or once every other week, for approximately 6 to 7 hours," stepping in when county offices cannot fill the workload.
A motion to approve the renewal was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote. The attorney and county administration will finalize paperwork for the renewal and proceed with vendor payment terms under the county’s standard processes.
