Purpose

APPOINTING INTERIM CORPORATION COUNSEL AND APPROVING ENGAGEMENT LETTER

Background

Due to staffing issues in the Corporation Counsel’s Office, there is a need to appoint an interim corporation counsel. The Executive and Legislative Committee has considered the options and agrees to contract with von Briesen & Roper, s.c. in the amount of $17,500 per month. This contract may be terminated at any time and, in the event of mid-month termination, the County will only be charged for actual hours worked that month.
