Whereas, File Number 201573 rescinded File Number 201365 and directed the hiring of a special counsel to review the Amended Agreement attached to File Number 201365 regarding whether the Common Council’s actions adopting the amendment providing for a contribution as part of the approval of the Amended Agreement were done in a manner consistent with law; and

Whereas, Common Council Resolution File Number 210223 authorizes the Office of the Common Council - City Clerk to retain outside counsel to assist the Common Council in preparing its response to the special counsel reviewing the adoption of Common Council File Number 201573 and appropriating funds for this purpose; now, therefore, be it
