Bill Summary School Board members Scott Shine and Jason Fischer
addressed the committee and requested an amendment to the Charter provision
to clearly authorize the School Board to hire its own specialized legal
counsel in the same way that the City Council is authorized to hire a
legislative counsel separate from the Office of General Counsel. Mr. Fischer
stated that the Duval School Board is the only one in the state without the
power to hire its own attorney, and said that research has shown that the
outside attorney they hired with permission from the General Counsel has
saved the district $100,000. Council Member Boyer clarified several aspects
of the wording and intent of the proposed amendment. General Counsel Jason
Gabriel suggested the need for additional definition of the terms “private
counsel”, “outside counsel” and “internal legal officer”. APPROVE 7-0 |
