Councilmember Broden gave context to filing deadlines and suggested the days on which she <br /> would prefer the attorney availability would be. <br /> Mr. Cox asked, What sort of hours did the previous attorney keep? <br /> Council President Scott stated, She was usually here around thirty-five (3 5) hours a week, it was <br /> basically a nine (9) to five (5) for her. That doesn't have to be the case because Council isn't here <br /> all the time and we could take advantage of technology, as long as it is effective and efficient <br /> communication. <br /> Councilmember Davis mentioned, We could also meet offsite. <br /> Mr. Podladski asked, What form of compensation would you be looking at? A flat fee, hourly or <br /> a combination? <br /> Councilmember Ferlic replied, We were expecting a contract for a flat fee for services for the <br /> year. <br /> Councilmember Dr. Varner added, If we do a flat fee, we probably should stipulate some specific <br /> hours. <br /> Interim Council Attorney Aladean DeRose gave a brief description of the role and of the time <br /> commitment required. <br /> Mr. Podladski asked, Have there been any matters involving Council litigation? <br /> Interim Council Attorney DeRose explained, There were only two (2). They were both First <br /> Amendment issues. Most of the litigation is handled by the City Administration. Occasionally <br /> the Council is sued. We have had one (1) major litigation between the Council and the City and <br /> that is a very rare occurrence. Both of the cases were issues with the ACLU. There was also one <br /> (1) zoning appeal. <br /> With no other questions from Mr. Cox and Mr. Podladski,the Council excused Mr. Cox and Mr. <br /> Podladski from the interview. <br /> With no further business, Council President Scott adjourned the Council Rules Committee <br /> meeting at 6:10 p.m. <br /> espect fitted; <br /> b <br /> Tim Scott, 1 esi ent <br /> 12 <br />
