Council retains Bryant Miller Olive and Christopher Rowe for solid‑waste assessment support
Summary
To ensure the town's solid-waste assessment is set up correctly, the council approved retaining the Bryant Miller Olive law firm and attorney Christopher Rowe for first-year legal support; council cited an hourly rate discussed in the meeting.
The council approved retaining the Bryant Miller Olive law firm and Christopher Rowe to provide legal services for establishing the town's solid‑waste assessment. Attorney Scott Simpson (speaker 7) recommended retaining counsel for the first year to validate the assessment and ensure ordinances and resolutions are correct; he said the engagement would likely be a one‑time need to set up the assessment properly and avoid later collection problems.
Council discussed cost and process; the draft engagement referenced an hourly billing rate of $350 per hour in the conversation and Council authorized retention so staff can proceed with the validation and related legal support.
