Engagement of Law Firms for Town Manager Investigation
Confidential investigation into serious misconduct allegations using external counsel at high rates without RFQ or interviews raises process and cost concerns.
Council discussed approving engagement letters for two law firms to handle general counsel and a confidential investigation into allegations of serious misconduct. Councilors objected to the selection process, lack of RFQ or interviews, high hourly rates of $495–$500, and limited municipal law experience. Discussion held on engagement letters but no vote or approval taken.
No vote taken; further discussion needed on firm selection
