The creation of the Orange County Attorney's <br />Office made the services provided by Coleman, Gledhill, Hargrave and Peek, P.C. redundant. <br />However, the County would benefit from consulting with Coleman, Gledhill, Hargrave and Peek, <br />P.C. on certain matters because of its experience in representing the County. Coleman, <br />Gledhill, Hargrave and Peek, P.C. will assist the County Attorney's Office by providing <br />background information on matters concerning the County and such other legal services that <br />shall be required from time to time. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The annual cost for the legal consulting services is projected at $25,000. <br />This is a calendar year agreement from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010. No <br />appropriation of funds is needed at this time. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the legal <br />consulting services agreement with Coleman, Gledhill, Hargrave and Peek, P.C. and authorize <br />the Chair to sign the agreement. <br />
