Overall quality: first rate, flexible

Rates: OK compared to other towns

Recommendation: Town Att'y relationship be reviewed every three years by a similar procedure

In-house attorney model: for much larger town, NOT in our interest

Improvements: role of town att'y should be increased as a "risk manager" and should be consulted earlier in the process; more coordination with Boards & Commissions; review and control of billing; on the town side, any other legal or consulting help that may run $10,000 should be reviewed by Town Attorney; Town Att'y should read minutes of boards and commissions to keep up with issues.

Formalize process: more detail in invoice review, checks and balances with Town Administrator; quarterly report by Town Attorney/or about the Town Att'y

Advice: if Selectmen do not want to follow Town Attorney's recommendation, they should specifically vote to do that.
