REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />NOVEMBER 20, 2006 <br />TITLE: <br />LEGAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH <br />CARPENTER, ROTHANS & DUMONT <br />~ . <br />CI ANAGER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />^ As Recommended <br />^ As Amended <br />^ Ordinance on 151 Reading <br />^ Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />^ Implementing Resolution <br />^ Set Public Hearing For_ <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and <br />Clerk of the Council to execute a legal services agreement with the law <br />firm of Carpenter, Rothans & Dumont with a maximum hourly rate of <br />$170.00. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The City Attorney's Office provides legal services to the City, its <br />officials and employees, primarily through staff attorneys. However, it <br />is sometimes necessary to retain outside counsel for specialized fields <br />of practice and cases that have extraordinary staffing requirements. <br />Under the direction of the City Attorney's Office, the law firm of <br />Carpenter, Rothans & Dumont will provide litigation legal services to <br />the City of Santa Ana. <br />The hourly rate charged by Carpenter, Rothans & Dumont is $170.00 and <br />has been guaranteed for a two year period. This rate is extremely <br />competitive for a firm with Carpenter, Rothans & Dumont's trial <br />experience and expertise. A thorough search for additional counsel was <br />conducted and multiple firms were considered. However, Carpenter, <br />Rothans & Dumont appears to be the premier candidate. The initial <br />assignment for the firm shall be by firm principal Steven Rothans for <br />defense of a police liability matter. <br />25X-1 <br />
