Knox County Board approves IFMK Law Ltd. as outside litigation counsel

After reconvening from closed session, Chair Jared Vakuten moved to approve the appointment of outside litigation counsel.

"I will take a motion to approve the appointments of litigation attorney of, IFMK Law Ltd, Northbrook, Illinois," the chair said as the board moved to formalize legal representation. The clerk called the roll and members present answered in the affirmative; the chair announced the motion passed.

The transcript records the board's public action to hire outside counsel but does not include details of the contract terms, scope of representation, fee arrangement or the specific litigation matter prompting the appointment. The clerk's roll call earlier in the meeting established which members were present; the transcript records unanimous assent from the members as read by the clerk.

The board then announced the next regular meeting for Monday, Dec. 23 at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall and adjourned.
