Plymouth School Board Establishes Legal Counsel

The legal services of attorney Jeff Houin were secured during Monday night’s Plymouth School Board meeting.

Under personnel items, members approved an engagement agreement from Houin which laid out his terms. In the document, he noted he will provide general legal advice and representation for a flat fee of $1,450 per month, plus actual costs and expenses incurred in the normal course of representation.

Houin also explained that the services provided shall include, but not be limited to, research and advice via telephone and email, in person meetings, review of contracts and other documents, preparation of contracts, board resolutions and other documents, review of all matters that come before the board, regular attendance at board meetings and advice and guidance on other matters, as requested by the superintendent.

Houin also notified the school board that from time to time, he may also engage other attorneys to assist with Corporation matters. He elaborated, stating that any services provided by any other attorney within his firm Easterday Houin LLP, shall be included under the agreement.
