AYES : Mr. Stec, Mr. Turner, Mr. Brewer
NOES : Mr. Boor, Mr. Strough
ABSENT: None
Discussion held before vote: Supervisor Stec-We did change the fee schedule a little bit, we
did discuss this a couple weeks ago in a workshop meeting. I thought that we had a
consensus. Yesterday I found out that there was a question as to, because we are changing
the fee schedule, were we certain that we wanted to have a two year contract vs a one year
contract? Some things that had been included in as part of our retainer before are now
above and beyond I thought our Counsels did a good job explaining the situation to us.
Councilman Brewer-Is there a clause in this contract that allows us to discuss anything after
we approve the contract? I am comfortable with it. Town Counsel Hafner-When you talked
about whether one or two year term that we had told you that if you did a one year term that
next year depending on how things go there may be a request for an increase. Dan quickly
spoke up and I thought there were other voices that said we wanted to fix it for two years so
you wouldn’t see that type of a budget increase. Supervisor Stec-That is how I recall it too.
Councilman Turner-That is how I recall it. Supervisor Stec-I am comfortable with it.
Councilman Strough-Well, what I was not comfortable with and I am one of those that
spoke to you was right now we are paying for and it lists the scope of the work, $14,583.00
per month for legal services to Miller, Mannix, Schachner and Hafner which is fine because
I have great respect for this legal outfit, I have worked with that. But, what they want to do
this year that is different than previous years they want to exclude litigation, in Town Court
which could be approximately fifty, fifty five thousand additional expenses to the Town. I
look at that as a potential 28.5 % increase and for a two year basis going into unknown
territory I thought at the minimum I would want to take a look at it in one year and see how
it looks then we could approve it for a second year. But, I have a problem approving it for
two years as it is written. Councilman Boor-I would concur with that. Two years may be
fine but we do not know. I foresee some issues coming up where Town Court may get
busier and certainly your law firm deserves to be compensated for it, but I am not sure it is
in the publics best interests to not RFP should it turn out that we are spending a hundred
thousand dollars in Town Court or something. Town Counsel Hafner-We had offered you
your choice at that time and you had wanted to fix things. Supervisor Stec-That is how I
recall it, we weighed that along with the potential, the idea that we would be able to track
expenditures as we go to make sure that we were not letting our litigation costs get out of
hand. You did point out that the way that we had been billing this in the past was not
consistent with how other municipalities have their contracts arranged with their counsel so
this would actually make our contract more consistent with the norm out there. I thought
that we had discussed all of this and I was comfortable with it. I can understand the point
that is being made it is just that it is frustrating that we did not have that point made before
yesterday to me anyways. Councilman Strough-Well, for one thing it came late. It came at
a time when you are changing Supervisors it came at a very confusing time. I really was not
official until today. So, I will tell you what I am willing to do, change the resolution to just
2004 and not include the second year and it will give us a year to look at it and make
adjustments if we need to. Supervisor Stec-I could go along with that I just want to point
out to the Board and the public that we may very well be looking at a rate increase as was
disclosed when we discussed this two weeks ago. But, what is the pleasure of the Board?
Councilman Brewer-I am willing to go with the two years and I think if the issue arises and
we have a problem or a concern, certainly our legal counsel has been here since 1996 we
have a relationship with them that if we see something get out of hand certainly we can call
them in and say lets have a meeting and amend the contract. I do not have a problem with
that. Supervisor Stec-We have run into those occasions in the past and because of our past
experience with handling of questions with the contract I am comfortable that we can
always work out whatever issues that we have as well. Councilman Brewer-I think if we
see an issue where we are going to pay another fifty thousand or sixty thousand or whatever
the number might be then it is time to have our attorneys in and say this part of our contract
we see a problem maybe we put it out to RFP or whatever the idea might come up.
Councilman Strough-So the best thing to do is to approve it for one year that will give us
that one year we can take a look at it and then make those adjustments. Councilman
Brewer-I am comfortable with the way it is written because of the discussions that we had.
Councilman Boor-The only thing I would add and I am not a lawyer, but and I do not think
188
ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING 01-01-2004 MTG. #1
this would ever happen but lets find out and lets see if, lets say we find out that it is way
more than we want to spend, what law firm are you going to use to cancel this contract?
Supervisor Stec-Ted do you have any parting comments? We do have a motion and a
second. Councilman Turner-I would rather leave it as is for now. We can always amend it.
Supervisor Stec-That is my sentiment. Councilman Boor-How do we amend it if they do
not want to? Councilman Brewer-Is there a clause in here, I will go back to my original
question? Is there a clause in here that says that we can ? Town Counsel Hafner-We have
always worked with you guys in the past. Councilman Boor-And I do not doubt that you
would. But I do not think it is a legal certainty that we can amend a contract as a Board
when we sign a contract. Town Counsel Hafner-It has certain terms. Supervisor Stec-Do
you have any suggestions, I am trying to think on how we can satisfy the concerns of some
of the board. Town Counsel Hafner-We thought that we already had. Supervisor Stec-I
thought that we had too. Would it be inappropriate to put in a clause saying that this
contract is open for review December 2004? Town Counsel Hafner-If you have these type
of concerns you could pass it for today for one year and discuss it for the two year at your
th
January 12. That would give you time to deal with these new concerns that.. Supervisor
Stec-I am comfortable with that amendment but you moved the resolution. Councilman
Brewer-I do not know what the issue is, we didn’t have this issue when we discussed this for
weeks at a time and now all of a sudden we get a big issue about it. Councilman Strough-
Like I said it came late, you are changing Supervisors we had no opportunity to sit down as
a Council to talk about this other than original night where it was brought up. Councilman
Brewer-I disagree with you John because we sat down as a Board four of the five people
that are on this Board today sat in that room, Dennis Brower sat in the room and this issue
never came up. Councilman Boor-It did come up. Councilman Brewer-It came up but we
satisfied the concern. Councilman Strough-I think the consensus here Mr. Chairman is one
year. Supervisor Stec-Ted what do you think I want to see what the consensus there is.
Councilman Turner-Two years. Supervisor Stec-I was comfortable with two years. I will
call the vote. Vote Taken. Just a closing comment on that, I certainly appreciate Roger’s
and John’s concerns but I am also equally as confident and comfortable with our the
relationship with Miller and Mannix that if we do see a problem which I do not anticipate
but if we do, I think that past experience that we have had with them that we could work
through any issue. I am comfortable with what we did but I certainly understand and
sympathize with the other concerns.

they may have in closing. I just want to thank, we have a very large crowd today and I am
delighted that you were all able to come today. I see a lot of very familiar faces out there.

continue to ask questions and participate. That is the way we make our government
better. I will start with Roger if he has any comments?

Happy New Year and be safe.

prosperous one. Like Roger said what we really need here is some feed back from the
public and the attendance at the meetings on critical issues that affect the areas of the
