Harris approves one-year contract with Miller & Stevens for attorney services
Summary
The Harris City Council voted unanimously Feb. 12 to sign a one-year contract with the law firm Miller & Stevens as the city's attorney, a procedural action added to the agenda by amendment earlier in the meeting.
The Harris City Council voted unanimously on Feb. 12 to sign a one-year contract with the law firm Miller & Stevens to provide attorney services to the city.
Councilmember Al Siedow moved to sign the attorney contract for one year; Councilmember Garret Pearson seconded the motion. Council members voted "all in favor," and the motion carried.
The item was added to the agenda earlier in the meeting after Councilmember Craig Moline moved to amend the agenda to add the attorney-contract discussion (items D and E); Garret Pearson seconded that amendment and the council approved it. No contract dollar amounts, start dates or detailed scope were recorded in the transcript.
Why it matters: retaining legal counsel ensures the city has advice on ordinances, contracts and statutory compliance. The council approved a one-year minimum term at this meeting; further contract details will be finalized by staff.
Next steps: staff will execute the one-year agreement with Miller & Stevens and report any substantive terms to the council in a future meeting; the transcript records no additional debate or public comment on the contract.
