* - Question asked by Legal Counsel Kathleen Smallwood-Johnson
Note to Minutes: Ms. Smallwood-Johnson did not rank any of the attorneys and was not
part of the RFP process because she has worked for various law firms.
Dr. Rosenbaum observed that the Board has been without an outside attorney since
June 30 when the contract with the former firm expired. She said this has saved the
District a considerable amount of money, and she asked if the Board can continue with
Ms. Smallwood-Johnson serving as Legal Counsel and using an outside firm for
overflow work, as has been done since June 30. Ms. Smallwood-Johnson answered
that the Board must decide this, and she advised that conflicts do arise which may
necessitate transferring a case. She estimated that there are currently ten matters
which fall into this category.
At this time, Mr. Truehart made a motion to appoint Adams Gutierrez & Lattiboudere,
LLC as the Board Attorney. Ms. Gussin seconded the motion. Mr. Redd wished to
discuss further Dr. Rosenbaum’s suggestion. He felt that the Board should discuss in
Executive Session the ten matters which require outside counsel, prior to making a
decision to appoint a Board Attorney. After a concentrated discussion, Mr. Truehart
agreed to table his motion to the September 22 Board Meeting.
