KENT ALM, DISTRICT COUNSEL X-
SUBJECT: CREATION OF AD HOC COMMITTEE ON PROVISION OF LEGAL
SERVICES
At the August 2, 2012 Board meeting the Human Resources Committee reported out on
its meeting of July 23 and recommended the creation of an Ad Hoc Committee to review
the provision of legal services to the District.
The Committee directed staff to obtain information regarding current legal fees paid by
the District and the potential cost of in -house counsel under various contracting
scenarios, and poll other agencies regarding how they obtain their legal services.
It is recommended, therefore, that the Board consider creating an Ad Hoc Committee, as
requested by the Human Resources Committee, and appoint two members of the Board to
serve on that Committee. Please note that, in compliance with the Brown Act, the two
Board Members who serve on the Human Resources Committee (Hockett/Williams) may
not both serve on the Ad Hoc Committee.
