Council approves contract with Cowdell Law for criminal prosecuting services
Summary
After discussion of legacy arrangements and possible future in-house options, the Council voted unanimously to execute a contract with Cowdell Law for criminal prosecuting legal services.
Mayor Frost introduced an agenda item to approve a contract for criminal prosecuting legal services, noting longtime relationships with prior counsel and calling the change "the end of an era." He said the proposed contractor has experience in government and has served on local boards.
