Report to Redding City Council August 13,2026 Re: 9.14(a)--FirstAmendment to Contract with Burke, Williams&Sorensen, LLP to Provide Legal Services Page 2 Background/Analysis The City Attorney is the legal counsel for the City Council and City staff, advising City officials on all legal matters involving the City. The City Attorney reviews all contracts, leases and agreements entered into by the City, assists departments in the research and development of City resolutions and ordinances, oversees the Risk Management Liability, Litigation and Insurance Division, and represents the City in state and federal court. Most matters addressed by the City Attorney are critical in nature and time sensitive. Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP, has an experienced public law practice group that provides city attorney services. The managing partner of their Marin office, Benjamin Stock, has experience as a City Attorney for City of Benicia and Foster City and has tackled a range of challenging municipal 1aw issues, including organizational turn around. The proposed contract would have Mr. Stock serve as the Interim City Attorney, although a majority of day-to-day work is expected to be handled by another partner in the firm, Mary Wagner. Ms. Wagner also has extensive municipal law experience, including twenty years as the City Attorney for the City of Sausalito. It is recommended that City Council approve the proposed contract with Burke, Williams & Sorensen and appoint Ms. Mary Anne Wagner as the Interim City Attorney replacing Benjamin Stock. Mr. Stock's schedule does not allow him to continue to serve in the official capacity of Interim City Attorney.

Recommendation Approve contract with Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP, in a not-to-exceed amount of $300,000, for the provision of legal services as Interim City Attorney for the City of Redding, effective upon signing. Fiscal Impact The total cost of the proposed contract with Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP, is a General Fund expenditure with a fiscal impact of up to three hundred thousand dollars ($300,000.00) to be billed in the amount of$335.00 per hour for Fiscal Years (FY) 2025-26 and 2026-27. Hourly charges for legal services provided will be billed and paid monthly. Billing rates may be subject to periodic review and adjustment as agreed in writing between the City of Redding (City) and Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP. Costs wi11 be partially offset by savings, due to the vacancy of City Attorney. The impact to each department is determined by allocating the difference between the contract max ($300,000) and 3 months of personnel savings in FY 2026 and two months of personnel savings in FY 27. This allocation was based on the assumed cross charge rate of the City Attorney to Airports, RABA, R�IA, Redding Electric Utility, Risk/Liability and Employer Services divisions. Alternative Actzons The Council could decline to approve th� proposed contract and give staff alternate direction with regard to seeking negotiations with another firm. Report to Redding City Council March 13,2026 Re: 9.14(a)--Contract with Burke, Williams&Sorensen, LLP to Provide Legal Services Page 2 Background/Analysis City Attorney Curtis has given the City Council notice that he is leaving his position with the City of Redding and has signed a contract with the City of Milpitas. The City has initiated a formal recruitment to fmd a replacement City Attorney, but that process wi11 not be complete before Curtis leaves. As such, skilled City Attorney services wi11 be needed for the interim period. The City Attorney is the legal counsel for the City Council and City staff, advising City officials on all legal matters involving the City. The City Attorney reviews all contracts, leases and agreements entered into by the City, assists departments in the research and development of City resolutions and ordinances, oversees the Risk Management Liability, Litigation and Insurance Division, and represents the City in state and federal court. Most matters addressed by the City Attorney are critical in nature and time sensitive. Burke, Williams & Sorensen, LLP, has an experienced public law practice group that provides city attorney services. The managing partner of their Marin office, Benjamin Stock, has experience as a City Attorney for City of Benicia and Foster City and has tackled a range of challenging municipal law issues, including organizational turn around. The proposed contract would have Mr. Stock serve as the Interim City Attorney, although a majority of day-to-day work is expected to be handled by another partner in the firm, Mary Wagner. Ms. Wagner also has extensive municipal law experience, including twenty years as the City Attorney for the City of Sausalito. It is recommended that the Council approve the proposed contract with Burke, Williams & Sorensen and appoint Mr. Stock as Interim City Attorney effective as of April 5, 2026. This timing will allow a short period of overlap, during which utilization of o�utside counsel is expected to be limited and focused on ensuring a smooth hand-off. The City Manager and outgoing City Attorney will work with departments during this period to establish processes and expectations for the utilization of outside counsel until the recruitment for a full-time city attorney is complete.
