Background:
The City has been utilizing Best, Best, & Krieger LLP (BB&K) for legal services in the Housing division since May 2020. BB&K also provide as-needed legal services including but not limited to planning, land use, CEQA work, and other miscellaneous legal tasks needed to assist City staff. BB&K will also provide regular ongoing services to the City's Planning Commission.
