Item C BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Agenda Item Summary TO BE ADDED ON IF BOARD GIVES UNANIMOUS CONSENT Meeting Date 11/29/04 Division County Attorney AGENDA ITEM WORDING Request for direction from the County Attorney's office on 3 separate legal matters. ITEM BACKGROUND 1. Collins, et al v. Monroe County. The County was recently served with a takings case involving approximately 20 plaintiffs. The County Attorney requests direction on retaining outside counsel to defend the County. Options include: a. Freilich, Leitner & Carlisle, a Kansas City boutique firm that speCializes in takings claims and has advised the County on land use matter during the last 10-15 years including the damages portion of the Shadek case. b. Johnson, Anselmo, Murdoch, Burke, Piper & McDuff, P.A., of Fort Lauderdale, which has served as the County's general liability firm and is defending 3 other smaller takings cases at the present time. Johnson, Anselmo is also lead counsel for the County in the current administrative rule challenge. c. Other firms. 2. J.D. v. Monroe County. The County recently prevailed in a writ of mandamus action brought by an employee who was seeking a hearing before the employee grievance council. The County Attorney's office, which expended over 17 hours defending the case, is requesting direction on whether to pursue recouping approximately $2800 in attorney's fees against the employee. 3. Nunziante v. Monroe County. The County was recently served with a suit seeking to force the County to admit Ms. Nunziante to Bayshore Manor as a permanent resident at less than the full cost rate because her family believes it should not be obligated to fund the difference between what Ms. Nunziante can afford on her own and the full rate. On Tuesday, November 30, 2004, a hearing is scheduled on her emergency motion for injunctive relief wherein she is requesting that the County not evict her from the facility during the course of the litigation. Her family has offered to escrow the difference during the pendency of the litigation, with the victor claiming the funds, provided the County does not evict her during the litigation. To clarify, Ms. Nunziante has been staying at Bayshore under 30 day-contracts for respite care. The last contract expired on November 20, 2004. The County Attorney's office is seeking direction on whether to enter into such a stipulation. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS to be provided APPROVED BY: County Attorney _ OMB/Purchasing! Risk Management!
