Town board tables legal services request for proposals until May 5
Summary
Town staff reported no RFP responses yet and said they have contacted firms; the board voted to table consideration of municipal legal services until its May 5 meeting so proposals can be collected and reviewed.
The town board voted to table consideration of a request for proposals for municipal legal services until its May 5 meeting after staff reported no firm had yet submitted a final proposal.
Manager said she had reached out to several firms that provide municipal legal services and that some firms no longer take municipal clients. "I have a phone conference with another firm tomorrow afternoon," she said, and added: "We will have something for you to make a decision on at that first meeting in May." Board members agreed to delay action to allow proposals to arrive.
Why it matters: the town needs to secure counsel before the current arrangement ends; tabling gives staff time to collect numbers and for the board to evaluate competing bids. The manager noted one firm had agreed to provide a number by the first May meeting and that staff expected to bring a recommendation then.
Next steps: the item is scheduled for the May 5 meeting for formal consideration and vote.
