On September 6, 2016 the City Council entered into an agreement with Timothy P. Driscoll, Esq. to serve as the city attorney. The Agreement was for a one (1) year term and included an option for the City Council to approve up to two (2) one year terms. The agreement was amended on March 7, 2018, September 5, 2019, October 20, 2020, September 7, 2021 September 6, 2022, and August 15, 2023 to renew City Attorney services. If this item is approved the term of the agreement is for one (1) year with an effective date of September 6, 2025.
Over the past eight years, I have had the pleasure of working closely with Mr. Driscoll where he has consistently demonstrated exceptional legal acumen and professionalism. Mr. Driscoll has a profound understanding of municipal law, which has been instrumental in successfully navigating complex cases. He is a meticulous researcher, an excellent strategist, and a persuasive advocate in the courtroom. He has handled the City's business with exceptional skill and distinction. In addition to his legal prowess, Mr. Driscoll possesses exemplary interpersonal skills. He is highly regarded by the department heads and I for his ability to provide sound legal advice.
Incidentally, Mr. Driscoll is not requesting a wage increase and therefore all provisions outlined in the original agreement will remain the same.
