RESOLUTION NO. 9,829
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY 6 3 1
MANAGER TO ENTER INTO AN AMENDMENT
TO THE CONTRACT WITH MCGLINCHEY
STAFFORD LANG, FOR THE PURPOSE OF
AUTHORIZING TOTAL LEGAL EXPENDITURES
UNDER THE CONTRACT TO EXCEED THE
$20,000 MAXIMUM.
WHEREAS, the City of Little Rock is required by Ark. Code
Ann. § 14- 51- 206(b) (Michie Supp. 1995) to hire, on an annual
basis, independent legal counsel to represent the City when the
City's managerial employment decisions are brought for review
before the Little Rock Civil Service Commission; and
WHEREAS, the City is currently under contract with the law
firm of McGlinchey Stafford Lang to provide legal services
pursuant to the statute referred to above in an amount not to
exceed $20,000 during calendar year 1996; and
WHEREAS, due to the complexity of several cases and an
overall increase in the number of cases presently pending before
the Commission during the remaining months in calendar year 1996,
the total legal costs, based upon the reasonable hourly rates of
counsel, will likely exceed the $20,000 maximum anticipated in the
existing agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS.
SECTION 1. The City Manager is hereby authorized to enter
into an amendment to the current contract with McGlinchey Stafford
Lang in order to permit the total expenditures to exceed the
$20,000 maximum called for in the current agreement with the firm.
SECTION 2. In order to carefully monitor the outside legal
costs, all additional expenditures above the $20,000 maximum must
be approved by the City Manager.
ADOPTED: November 7, 1996
