All
City Attorney contact must be initiated by the City
Administrator. This is a cost control item, as well as to prevent
someone from contacting the attorney for their own pet issue.
Occasionally a councilmember will contact the City Attorney
directly if permission is received by the whole council.

Subject: [occma] City Attorney Contacts
The
City Council is reviewing a “rules and procedures” policy and a
question came up concerning contacts initiated by Council to the
contracted City Attorney. The draft policy is:
Members
of the Council requesting a legal opinion of the City Attorney may do
so directly during a meeting or if the Mayor is aware of the inquiry.
I’m looking for city practices on this issue.
