Committee authorizes retention of Phillips Lytle for tax-foreclosure work through 2027
Summary
The Ways and Means Committee approved a resolution authorizing Allegany County to retain Phillips Lytle as outside counsel for tax-foreclosure matters beginning in 2025 and continuing through 2027; the chairman was authorized to execute the agreement after review of terms.
At the July 15 Ways and Means Committee meeting, a committee member moved and the chair seconded a motion to authorize retention of Phillips Lytle as outside counsel to perform tax-foreclosure legal work for matters beginning in 2025 and continuing through 2027. The presenting official said the county has a long-standing relationship with the firm and annually brings the request to the board.
The committee discussed the relationship briefly; no dissent was recorded in the transcript and the motions on the table were approved by voice vote. The presenting remarks requested a resolution authorizing the chairman to sign an agreement with Phillips Lytle once the county attorney or designee had reviewed and approved terms and conditions. The transcript does not include a recorded roll-call vote or a detailed fee schedule.
Next steps: the county attorney indicated the chairman would be authorized to execute the agreement following review of final terms.
