4.A. ACTION APPROVING FINDINGS & CONTRACT WITH LINEBARGER GOGGAN BLAIR & SAMPSON, LLP
After having provided adequate notice as required by Sec. 2254.1036 of the Texas Government Code, the Agreement for Delinquent Tax Collection Services with Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP is approved and the Board President is authorized to execute this Agreement. After exercising its due diligence, The School District finds that: 1. There is a substantial need for the legal services to be provided pursuant to the Agreement for Delinquent Tax Collection Services; 2. These legal services cannot be adequately performed by the attorneys and supporting personnel of the School District at a reasonable cost; 3. These legal services cannot reasonably be obtained from attorneys in private practice under a contract providing only for the payment of hourly fees, without regard to the outcome of the matter, because of the nature of delinquent tax penalties provided by Texas Tax Code Sections 6.30, 33.07, 33.08, 33.11, and 33.48 and because the School District does not have the funds to pay the estimated amounts required under a contract only for the payment of hourly fees; 4. Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP, is well qualified and competent to perform the legal services required to comply with the terms of this contract; 5. The contract with Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP is the result of an arm’s length transaction between the School District and Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP and is fair and reasonable. |
