AGENDA ITEM — 3E <br />-t1 DEN HILLS <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: February 12, 2024 <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br />FROM: Dave Perrault, City Administrator <br />SUBJECT: Civil Attorney Update <br />Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount <br />N/A N/A <br />Council Should Consider <br />Council should discuss next steps on finding a new Civil Attorney. <br />Background <br />Funding Source: <br />N/A <br />The City was informed by its Civil Attorney, Campbell Knutson, that it can no longer serve the <br />City for the longer term. Campbell Knutson was recently renewed as the Civil Attorney <br />following an RFP process. The Council should discuss and consider how it wants to move <br />forward, i.e. issuing a new RFP for Civil Attorney services or engaging the second choice from <br />the RFP, Eckberg Lamers. <br />The last RFP was issued in 2023, and the City received three proposals for Civil Attorney. One <br />firm was not brought forward for Council interviews and two firms were (Campbell Knutson and <br />Eckberg Lamers). <br />Should Council want to move forward with the second choice, Staff will seek out a refreshed <br />proposal for Council to consider; or if Council prefers moving forward with an RFP, Staff will <br />move in that direction. Regardless, Campbell Knutson has agreed to assist the City until a new <br />attorney can be brought onboard. <br />Budget Impact <br />N/A <br />Attachment <br />N/A <br />
