Board approves $25 hourly raise for legal counsel Nancy Porter
Summary
Nancy Porter, the board’s legal counsel, asked to increase her hourly rate from $250 to $275; the board approved the $25 increase by motion, noting the fiscal impact would be minimal based on last year’s billings.
The board approved a $25 hourly increase for the district’s legal counsel, Nancy Porter (speaker 10), raising her rate from $250 to $275 per hour. Chair (speaker 1) introduced the item and invited Porter to address the board. Porter said she has represented the board for almost four years at $250 per hour, described the increase as acknowledging the value of counsel’s work and noted last year’s billing to the district totaled $3,725, which she said would make the rate change increase overall annual expense by roughly $327.50.
No board members opposed; the motion to approve the hourly increase was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote. Chair thanked Porter and directed staff to record the rate change for billing going forward.
