21-792 - A resolution approving the City Manager’s appointment of Jeremy Cover and Lauber Municipal, LLC, as the City Counselor for the City of Independence, Missouri. |
| | | | | | | | Background:
Shannon Marcano served as the City Counselor from October 2018 until mid-February of 2021. Her contract from 2018 expired by its terms at the end of February 2021. The City decided not to extend her contract. Mitchell Langford, who has served as the City Prosecutor for 19 years, served as interim City Counselor from the time of Shannon’s departure through July of 2021. After distributing a request for proposals for an outside law firm to serve as City Counselor, the City hired Jeremiah Cover, a partner of Lauber Municipal Law, LLC, as City Counselor on a contract basis.
