FEE AGREEMENTS WITH (1) ANGELO, KILDAY AND

REPRESENTATION OF THE CITY OF LODI IN SEVERAL
PENDING STATE AND FEDERAL COURT ACTIONS
WHEREAS, ordinarily the City Attorney's Office defends all court actions filed
against the City with in-house staff; however, as the result of a vacancy in the position of
Deputy City Attorney, the complexity of issues in two pending Federal court actions, and
several pending State court actions, retention of outside counsel is advisable; and

Angelo, Kilday and Kilduff and to retain the Stockton firm of Mayall Hurley, P.C. to
represent the City in several pending State and Federal court actions; and
WHEREAS, the City Attorney serves as co -counsel in all litigation, participates in
litigation strategy, and monitors, reviews and approves all billings for legal services.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the City Attorney to negotiate and enter into Fee Agreements with Angelo,
Kilday and Kilduff, and Mayall Hurley, P.C. for legal representation of the City of Lodi in
several pending State and Federal Court actions; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the funds for the above -referenced
