Board drops multi-firm legal slate, selects Pemberton Law & Kennedy & Graven as counsel
Summary
An initial motion to designate multiple firms as district legal counsel failed 1–4; the board then approved a substitute motion to designate Pemberton Law & Kennedy & Graven as the district's legal counsel, passing unanimously.
The board considered designations for legal counsel under agenda item 13.1. A motion to approve three firms — Squires, Waldspurger & Mace; Pemberton Law; and Kennedy & Graven — failed on a 1–4 vote (Michael Anderson voted yea; four members voted nay).
After the failed motion, Barbara (Barb) Sherman moved a substitute motion to designate Pemberton Law & Kennedy & Graven as the district’s legal counsel; Linsey McMurrin seconded. That motion passed with all five present board members recorded as yea. The transcript records the motions and roll-call tallies but does not include discussion explaining the rationale for the votes recorded.
