Here's the whole blurb from the DN's "City Notebook:"
Mayor John Moak said last week he believes a $5,000 cap for the City Council to use for an attorney to review the administrative order issued by the Health Department to New Ventures, owner of the Crow Lane landfill, was fair given the city's financial state.
"We're all struggling," Moak said.
The city had good legal representation through the entire negotiation process with New Ventures, the mayor said. City councilors agreed to hire their own attorney to review the legality of the move by Moak and Health Director Jack Morris.
Moak notified city councilors a few weeks ago that he was going to have Morris send the administrative order to New Ventures to cap the Crow Lane landfill. As it is an administrative order, the City Council has no power over the decision, and several councilors have criticized the mayor's move, feeling they should have been involved.
Well, since Councillor Ives said that they were only looking for the answer to 2 questions, I guess it is a fair amount.
Sounds like he doesn't expect they will find that he did anything wrong ...
