City Council Faces Illegality in Paying Architect Fee
A deputy attorney general says paying the $4,485 fee to Stewart Cooper Architects for the proposed city county complex would be illegal without a contract and proper appropriation. City officials and committee members, including Mayor Roland Bradley appointee James F Bullock, defend good faith while noting no budget approval existed. The dispute centers on whether the city nor county had authority to pay for preliminary drawings and site plans already produced.
