The City’s current Prosecutor, Jay Kiiha stated that he would be unable to continue providing prosecutor services to the city after December 31, 2016. A Request For Proposal was released to the public with a deadline of November 7, 2016 for submittals. The City received two submittals (attached) from Paul Fitzer with MSBT Law and Michael Flannigan with Carey Perkins LLP. A panel of four staff members, Nate Coyle City Manager, Justin Williams Police Chief, Michelle Groenevelt Community Development Director, and BessieJo Wagner City Clerk interviewed each candidate. After much discussion and review of references provided by the proposed selection, staff recommends contracting with Paul Fitzer of MSBT Law. Mr. Fitzer was highly recommended by Jay Kiiha, the current prosecutor for the City of McCall. Mr. Kiiha will be present to answer any questions the Council may have during this presentation. Unfortunately Mr. Fitzer had a previous engagement that would not allow him to attend this Council Meeting. However, if the Council should decide to approve the recommended attached contract, Mr. Fitzer will be in attendance at the January 12, 2017 Council Meeting to meet the Council. The existing agreement with Mr. Kiiha terminates on December 31, 2016. Attached are both Prosecutor Packages A & B and the proposed contract. The contract is being reviewed by the City Attorney.  RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the agreement for prosecutor services between the City of McCall and Paul Fitzer of MSBT Law, pending review without concern by the City Attorney and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
