Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved paying a law firm for work already completed and sent the question of a new $100,000 contract to the Finance Committee for review. Liebert Cassidy Whitmore has been helping the city with contract negotiations and training employees on employment law issues. The council agreed to pay the firm for services it has already provided, but wants the Finance Committee to examine whether to approve the full contract that would run through 2014. This reflects the council's typical approach to contracts, as all members historically vote to approve the vast majority of contract items that come before them.
