S 4 <br /> 2/15/83 PAGE -4- <br /> LAFAYETTE WATER CASE Administrator Wurl stated that at the Water <br /> APPOINT SPECIAL COUNSEL Study Session Mr. Williamson reviewed for <br /> council the basis for recommending that Mr. <br /> Robbins with the firm of Hill and Robbins <br /> be hired to represent the City in this par- <br /> ticular case. Request was for Council's <br /> authorization to hire him. <br /> Councilman Leary Inquired what the hourly rate or retainer <br /> fees would be to hire Mr. Robbins. <br /> Wurl advised the same as those of Mr. William- <br /> son. <br /> AUTHORIZATION Councilman Fauson moved, Councilman Ferrera <br /> seconded that David Robbins with the firm <br /> of Hill and Robbins be hired as special <br /> counsel in the Lafayette Water Case. Question <br /> called for. All in favor .

Obviously it would <br /> effect her politically but felt because of <br /> the structure of the Ward map, that was the <br /> best move the City could make. Stated she <br /> had reviewed the criteria presented by <br /> Councilmen Leary and Fauson and wished to <br /> add others after discussing them with members <br /> of the staff and residents. <br /> Regarding the straightening of the lines - <br /> felt that the proposed map as presented was <br /> the easiest route. However, it concerned her <br /> particularly the lines between Wards I and II <br /> as it was not the least bit straight . Felt <br /> with regard to Ward II the population figures <br /> could be slightly larger as less growth is <br /> expected in that Ward. Felt that other al- <br /> ternatives should be presented to council <br /> that would meet the qualifications suggested <br /> by members of council . <br /> Minimizing the changes - not switching resi- <br /> dents to a different Ward - her theory would <br /> be if there was a serious projection. within <br /> the next 4 years a particular area would <br /> necessitate a Ward change, could see no reason <br /> not to do that at one time. <br /> Saw stability as a major priority, did not <br /> wish to see the Trailer Court , Hillsborough <br /> West or any other specific development going <br />
