CURRENT POLICY FOR OBTAINING LEGAL SERVICES
“The process for retaining legal services, such as county attorney, bond counsel, conflict
counsel and any other attorney, shall be directed by the Board.”
RECOMMENDED CHANGE
“The process for obtaining legal services of a County Attorney shall be at the direction of the
Board. Outside legal services, to include, but not limited to, bond counsel, conflict counsel and
other counsel of a specialized or limited nature, shall be at the concurrence of the County
Attorney and County Administrator. However, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the
Board’s authority to retain legal counsel, other than the County Attorney, when and if the
Board shall deem such action appropriate.”
