Five year contract for legal services will be replaced
Sooke, BC - December 12, 2011
On December 9th, 2011, District of Sooke Council met with Mr. Don Lidstone of Lidstone and Company and it was mutually agreed that the five year contract for legal services would be replaced by the former “as needed” arrangement. The District of Sooke will continue to use legal services including those of Lidstone and Company on an as-needed basis as it has in the past.
In Council’s discussions with Mr. Lidstone, it was agreed that there are a number of ways in which the District can reduce its legal fees and that he will provide advice on how we can accomplish this. Mr. Lidstone has provided legal services over the past 12 years to the District of Sooke. Lidstone and Company, in particular Mr. Lidstone, is recognized as one of the leading experts in relation to Municipal Governance in British Columbia.
The District appreciates Mr. Lidstone’s cooperation in this matter and looks forward to continuing our relationship with him.
