| SUBJECT |
| Approve a revised on-call legal services contract with Colantuono, Highsmith & Whatley, PC |
| RECOMMENDED ACTION |
| Approve a revised on-call legal services contract with Colantuono, Highsmith & Whatley, PC |
| FISCAL IMPACT |
| Any on-call legal services are anticipated to be related to a LAFCo proposal, which are reimbursed by the applicant per the Yolo LAFCo adopted fee schedule. |
| REASONS FOR RECOMMENDED ACTION |
For typical ongoing legal services, Yolo LAFCo contracts with Yolo County Counsel's Office. Occasionally, a proposal is more complicated and requires more specialized LAFCo legal advice or additional capacity. Yolo LAFCo has maintained on-call service contracts for many years with three different law firms.
With the recent reclamation district reorganization proposals, outside counsel was needed. A revised contract was prepared because the name of Michael Colantuono's law firm had changed. The Executive Officer signed an interim agreement not to exceed $5,000 consistent with her spending authority, however this amount has already been exceeded. Therefore, a revised contract requires LAFCo approval. |
| BACKGROUND |
| Some limited additional legal services are anticipated for the Reorganization to Establish RD 900 as a Subsidiary District of the City of West Sacramento Protest Hearing on November 13, 2019 and preparing the Conducting Authority Resolution for subsequent LAFCo approval. This contract would cover these services and any future services requested by Yolo LAFCo over the years as this contract does not have an expiration date. |
