Summary

Council authorized initiating the 30-day termination process for the incumbent city-attorney contract (Kenny and Noreen) after incumbent did not submit a proposal; council authorized the city manager to notify the firm and discussed scheduling closed-session interviews with applicant firms.

Council discussed results of a recent RFP for general legal services and moved to initiate the incumbent contract's 30-day termination clause so the city can onboard a new firm from three proposals received.

Staff explained the incumbent firm (Kenny and Noreen) did not submit a bid; the city received three new proposals. Council moved to authorize the city manager to send the termination notice and begin the 30-day process. A public commenter urged the city to recognize the incumbent firm's past service; a council member offered to donate funds to provide a token of appreciation.

Council also discussed scheduling closed-session interviews with applicant firms and traded possible dates; staff will coordinate and confirm a weekday in the near term to allow time for the 30-day notice window to expire before May.
