MOUNDS ViEw <br />City or Mounds View Staff Report <br />Item No: 51. <br />Meeting Date: 12/13/2021 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />Administrator Review: <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Nyle Zikmund, city Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9518, Approving Extension to City <br />Attorney (Kennedy & Graven) thru 2024. <br />Background <br />The City of Mounds View has been represented by Kennedy and Graven for over two <br />decades with Scott Riggs as the primary attorney of record. Previously, the City and K & <br />G operated under a "boiler plate" contract. Attorney Riggs offered to migrate to a letter <br />of agreement similar to all of their municipal clients which provided the City more <br />latitude if they wanted to make a change. Council discussed the issue at their <br />December 6, 2021 workshop and was in agreement on this arrangement. <br />Discussion <br />Administrator Zikmund negotiated with Mr. Riggs and consulted with Finance Director <br />Beet. Upon completion of the negotiations, Mr. Riggs forwarded the attached proposal <br />of hourl rates which are reflective of the current rates and will increase 2% for each of <br />the calendar years 2022, 2023 and 2024. <br />Recommendation <br />Staff recommends approval of Resolution 9518 approving the proposal for legal counsel <br />from Kennedy and Graven <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Nyle Zikmund <br />City Administrator <br />
