AGREEMENT PLAUCHE AND CARR LLP – BILL CLARKE PUBLIC WORKS
Mark Cook, Public Works Director/Interim Engineer said the Agreement
with Plauche and Carr, LLP and Bill Clarke would expire at midnight
on December 31, 2019. The Board asked if the Prosecutors office had
reviewed it, as Mr. Clarke is a Special Deputy who had been
appointed by Prosecutor Greg Zempel. They need to obtain Mr.
Zempel’s approval before entering into another contract with Mr.
Clarke. Mr. Cook said he was unaware if it had been reviewed by
them, as it was more of a Public Health Agreement. There was no
action taken on the item as Mr. Cook said he would try and get
information on if the Prosecutors office agreed to the continuation.
Meeting adjourned at 9:50 a.m.
