The county does not have a full time <br />attorney, but contracts with Poyner and Spruill. Both attorneys are from Poyner and Spruill. <br />The Town Attorney generally serves as counsel to the Board of Adjustment and attends the Board’s meeting in that role. On occasion, where the Town <br />Attorney has been directly involved in a staff decision being appealed to the BOA or when some other situation arises where it is not appropriate for the <br />Town Attorney to serve as the Board’s advisor, the Town will retain independent counsel to advise the BOA. There is a general account with funds available <br />to access when the need for consulting attorneys are authorized to be hired. <br />The Town contracts with the Brough law firm for legal services. They serve as the Town and Board of Adjustment’s Attorney. In cases of an appeal from the <br />Historic Commission the Town hires a third party to represent the Board of Adjustment with reps from the Brough law firm representing the Historic <br />Commission. <br />Full Time (FT) / Part Time (PT) / <br />In-House (IH)/Contractual ( C) <br />PT/C <br />FT/IH <br />FT/IH <br />4
