Commission approves employment-law engagement; commissioners thank outgoing town attorney Bill Doney
Summary
The commission authorized a letter of agreement with an outside employment-law firm (hourly rate $315) including a 30-day termination clause, and publicly thanked outgoing town attorney Bill Doney for his years of service.
The commission approved a letter of agreement to retain an outside employment-law firm as presented in the packet, with an hourly rate of $315 for most attorneys and lower rates for paralegals. The agreement discussed at the hearing includes a 30-day termination clause for either party.
Staff said this engagement mirrors the letter included in the original packet and that the town would set an internal threshold for hourly charges; once that threshold is met, staff will notify commissioners and seek direction. A motion to approve the letter of agreement was made, seconded and carried.
After the approval, commissioners publicly thanked Bill Doney for his years of service as town attorney. Several commissioners expressed appreciation and wished him well as the meeting concluded.
