The Board of County Commissioners authorized staff to proceed with hiring outside counsel after officials said the district attorney must recuse because of a conflict in representing more than one elected official.
On the agenda’s final item, a commissioner explained that the district attorney’s representation of two individual elected officials presents a conflict and that the county therefore needs outside counsel. The commission instructed staff to secure a contract with outside counsel and bring it back to the commission for consideration; the motion passed by voice vote.
No details on scope, budget or potential outside counsel firms were provided in the meeting record.
