City Attorney Contract
September 9, 1999
David E. Thompson, City Manager
BACKGROUND: The City Attorney's contract was approved in 1994, and it has not
been amended since that time. The City Manager and City Attorney
discussed this matter, and they agreed that the contract needed to be
updated.
The attached proposal from the City Attorney makes a number of
significant changes from the previous contract. There are also a
number of revisions that will have a significant financial impact if
approved.
Since the City Attorney works for the City Commission, the City
Commission needs to review the contract and determine what they
tivish to see changed, added, or deleted. Once the substantive issues
are decided, then staff recommends that the City have the contract
reviewed by an outside attorney.
Staff will gladly assist the City Commission as requested or directed.
At this time, it is not clear as to the level of involvement the City
Commission would like staff to participate.
RECOMMENDATION: To review, evaluate, and modify the proposed contract to determine
the City Commission's direction on the substantive issues.
After making the decisions noted in the above recommendation, to
refer to staff to have an outside legal review of the contract.
