Add $400,000 to 2 law firm contracts defending Winehaven lawsuits
$400,000
In Plain English
The city is being sued by Winehaven Legacy LLC over development issues. Two attorneys who knew the case moved to different law firms, so the city must pay their new firms to continue the defense. If approved, total legal costs reach $675,000 across both contracts through 2026.
