Background

The original agenda item when the firm of Bickerstaff, Heath, Delgado, Acosta LLP was retained stated that such firm shall be retained for a period of time not to exceed 90 days. That period will expire in one week and the county will need to approve this agenda item so that it can continue to retain Mr. Heath’s firm. A statement needs to be made as to why this item is appearing on this agenda (i.e. state that prior agenda item was for 90 days).
