Summary
At a Dec. 9 special meeting, founding partner Burt Odelson and managing partner Felicia Frazier of Odelson & Sterk introduced their firm to the Village of Robbins board, noting a relationship with the village stretching back to 1983 and offering legal services including labor-contract work.
Burt Odelson, founding partner of the law firm Odelson & Sterk, introduced himself to the Village of Robbins Mayor and Board of Trustees at a special meeting on Dec. 9, 2021, describing the firm's long relationship with the village and its municipal practice. Odelson told the board the firm first worked with Robbins in 1983 and returned after a period during which the village used another law firm.
Felicia Frazier, a managing partner at Odelson & Sterk, introduced herself and said she handles labor contracts for municipalities and described how requests from a village are typically routed within a municipal law practice. Mayor Darren E. Bryant thanked the attorneys for services provided to date and invited questions; none were recorded in the public portion of the transcript.
The introductions took place during the public portion of the special meeting, before a motion by Trustee Tiffany S. Robinson to move into closed session. No citizen comments were recorded. The presentation signals the board’s current alignment with Odelson & Sterk as its municipal counsel; the transcript does not record any contract vote or specific fee terms during the meeting.
The board recessed for a closed session on pending litigation later in the meeting and reconvened before adjourning at 9:04 p.m.
