Mayor Labadie called the meeting to order at 6:30 P.M.
A. Roll Call
Present. Mayor Labadie; Councilmembers Siakel, Callies, Johnson and Gorham; City
Administrator Lerud.
Council member Siakel was participating remotely from lobby of the Sable Hotel, 900 East Grand
Avenue, Chicago, IL.
Motion by Johnson, Second by Callies to approve the agenda, upon roll call vote, all voted
in favor.
Council member Callies made a statement that she is familiar with most of the attorneys
interviewing tonight, and with all the firms. She said she does not have a conflict of interest that
would require she recuse herself in the discussion or decision.
The special meeting was being held to interview legal firms to provide civil legal services to the
City of Shorewood. Firms interviewed:
Campbell Knutson
Hoff Barry
Eckberg Lammers
Kutak Rock
The meeting recessed at 8:30 and was called back to order at 8:35.
Because the lead city attorney from Campbell Knutson was not able to attend the meeting tonight
due to a previously scheduled commitment from which he could not participate remotely, and
because the city offered only one date for the interviews, it was the consensus of the council to
invite the attorney from Campbell Knutson to interview. It was suggested he be scheduled as
part of a work session in September or October with a council discussion to then follow.
With no other business, Johnson moved, Gorham seconded, Adjourning the City Council
Meeting. Upon roll call all in favor, motion passed.
