This agreement specifies the lawyer within the firm that would represent the <br />City depending on the area of legal matter. <br />Effective January 23rd, the City Attorney named in the agreement to represent the City for day-to- <br />day legal matters is no longer with their law firm. Since that time, Korine Land has been providing <br />legal counsel on day-to-day matters. LGM notified the City of the option to transition our general <br />legal counsel to Cynthia Kirchoff with their firm. Staff was given direction by Council to bring forth <br />an amended agreement to remain with LGM with this change. <br />For day-to-day legal matters Cynthia Kirchoff will be the lead attorney for the City and Korine Land <br />will be the lead on Rice Creek Commons. The amended agreement will be effective upon Council <br />approval. There are no other changes to the legal services agreement. <br />Budget Impact <br />N/A <br />Attachment <br />Attachment A: First Amendment to Agreement with LGM for Legal Services <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />
