Trustees approve hiring counsel to help draft moratorium tied to proposed aluminum plant
Summary
Board members approved hiring outside counsel to assist with a proposed ordinance adopting a moratorium on heavy manufacturing in the industrial district, referencing a proposed aluminum plant; staff said an ordinance drafted by 'Trevor' will be discussed at a future meeting and recommended a larger firm with experience.
The board agreed to retain outside counsel to help with a proposed ordinance that would impose a moratorium on heavy manufacturing uses in the town's industrial-heavy district, a measure tied in the discussion to a proposed aluminum plant. A staff speaker said, “Trevor has prepared a proposed ordinance. We're still planning to go ahead on that next meeting and discuss that ordinance,” and recommended hiring a larger firm with breadth of experience.
Staff identified Doerner/Dorner Saunders and lawyer Nathan Cross as potential counsel and said the firm could provide additional legal resources to move the ordinance to completion. The transcript records that the firm offered a reduced hourly rate for this work and the board approved hiring the firm for the item. The record does not include a final contract or ordinance text; the transcript indicates the moratorium ordinance will be discussed at the next meeting.
