Chief Administrative Officer Asnus reported that a letter had been
received from Ferguson and Judge Attorneys who are handling the court
cases for the City of Baldwin Park, and that City Attorney Gorlick had
prepared a Resolution wetaining them to defend the City.
City Clerk Balkus read, tote letter from Ferguson and Judge. The law
firm stated they propose to represent the City of Baldwin Park in the
two lawsuits now pending Josenhans and the Hopkins-Caillier cases)
until judgements have become final which will, if necessary, include
appeals and the appellate courts. Their fees for such representation
will be $25.00 per hour for research, office preparation and time in
court, plus all court costs.
Chief Administrative Officer Asmus read the Resolution prepared by
City Attorney Gorlick. There was some discussion among the Councilmen
regarding a misunderstanding of the fees requested; however, it was
the opinion of all that, whether or not there was a misrepresentation,
it would be more feasible in every way for Ferguson and judge to con-
tinue with the cases rather than have another attorney, who would be
unfamiliar with the cases, gather the material to the point as it now
stands.
Councilman Stephens moved that the Resolution be adopted. Councilman
Bishop seconded, and the motion carried as follows:
AYES: Councilman Stephens, Bishop, Mayor Cole
NOES: None

Avenue Sewers and with deletion of two parcels, the cost could be cut.

Moved by Councilman Stephens and seconded by Councilman Bishop that

August 18, 1958 for Council action. Agreement was tmanimeous.
