Description/Analysis
IssueDetail
Issue Detail: The City Attorney’s Office (CAO) maintains a pre-approved list of qualified outside counsel available to assist with investigation matters. Shaw Law Group was selected as the most qualified firm to perform required investigations. The CAO is recommending Council approval to supplement the current legal services agreement with Shaw Law Group, in an amount not to exceed $114,910.00 for expenses associated with investigatory services on two claims of discrimination. This supplement is necessary because the investigation required additional work beyond that originally anticipated.
