Subject: Public Comment -- 1/8/24 CC Mtg., Item No. 8C, City Attorney Amendment Date: Friday, January 05, 2024 3:41:39 PM
City Council,
I see no reason not to approve this amendment and I certainly won't miss Keith and his questionable legal advice. That said, I doubt this will help much since the issues run deeper than who specifically serves as the City Attorney from our current contract firm. (For example, I don't even recognize this guy's law school, although at least it is probably accredited, unlike the first one we got from J&M.) I predict you will learn that over time. You can't address the real issues without a more thorough realignment and a different approach altogether. This seems a little like rearranging who sits in which deck chair on the Titanic.
Regards,
--Jacob
