Adopt a Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a contract for legal services with Glen. R. Mozingo, Esq.,
APC (A Professional Corporation), as City Attorney for the initial term of July 15, 2017 to July 15, 2020.

BACKGROUND / SUMMARY

SUMMARY
Don Freeman has served as City Attorney for the past 33 years. In early 2017, he announced his intention
to resign his position as City Attorney with the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea sometime within the year. The City
Attorney is appointed by the City Council and serves at its pleasure as the chief legal officer for the City. On
February 15, 2017, the City Council conducted a public meeting to discuss the selection process
alternatives for a new City Attorney. The Council also reviewed and discussed a draft job description for the
position. The Council appointed Councilmembers Carolyn Hardy and Jan Reimers as the Ad hoc Committee
to facilitate the City Attorney selection process and provided direction.

PROCESS
On Council direction and with staff assistance, the Ad hoc Committee developed a Request for
Qualifications (RFQ) and scope of legal services. The RFQ (Attachment 1: Request for Qualifications) was
circulated on February 22, 2017 with a required response date of March 10, 2017 for submissions. The
applicants were required to submit their qualifications such as overall capabilities, training, and areas of
expertise; their experience; availability and accessibility; current practices; potential conflicts of interest; and
fees and charges.

The City received 16 responses by the deadline. Independent of each other, the Committee members
reviewed all of the applications based on the criteria in the RFQ and later met to discuss findings and
conclusions. The Ad hoc Committee members coincidentally had taken the same approach of dividing the
applications by region: long-distance, regional, and local applicants. Through separate reviews, the same
conclusions were drawn as to the strongest top candidates to recommend to the City Council as finalists
for interview. Additionally, major considerations in evaluating the candidates were the extent to which a
candidate understood the Councils objectives in terms of legal representation, accessibility, and whether
there would be potential conflicts of interest in serving the City.
Through the Ad hoc Committee, the City Council extended an invitation to three candidates to interview
before the entire Council and City Administrator. At the completion of those interviews, and after careful
consideration and deliberation, Mr. Glen Mozingo, Esq. was identified as the preferred candidate that
possessed the desired qualifications and experience, and has a track record of being an approachable
problem-solver in a variety of environments. (Attachment 2: Mozingo Response to RFQ) The Council also
determined that Mr. Mozingo had the interpersonal and solution-oriented skill set desired and extensive
experience in the scope of services that will be required by the City.

ABOUT THE CANDIDATE

Mr. Mozingos municipal involvement is wide and varied: Served as special counsel to the LAPD Police
Chief Daryl Gates for eight years; appointed as counsel by San Diego Mayor Pete Wilson to negotiate for
eminent domain agreements; designed and implemented San Diegos Traffic Watch Program and in the
process negotiated various contracts with the FCC and large corporations; served as trial counsel for
California cities of Escondido, San Diego, Laguna Hills, Vista, and Mission Viejo; served as special
litigation defense counsel to members of the City of San Joan Capistrano Planning Commission; was
general counsel to the County of Sacramento Fire District; negotiated sales, lease and zoning
modifications with the City of Newport Beach to accommodate the sale of theater property.

Mr. Mozingo was involved in legal matters that included CEQA, real estate, environmental issues and
hazardous waste, and compliance with General Plans. He prepared employee policy manuals, presented
seminars relating to anti-harassment policies and practices, represented employers in wrongful termination
and sexual harassment cases. He has handled city litigation matters that included Writs of Mandate,
Pitchess motions, and inverse condemnations.

He has participated in redrafting and modifications of Fair Political Practices Commission

recommendations in 1981 and 1990. He holds a teaching credential and is qualified to instruct others
regarding open government Acts (Public Records Act and Ralph M. Brown Act, conflicts of interest and
Elections Code.)

Mr. Mozingo retired from his law firm and separated from his practice effective December 31, 2016, and
would be able to devote his time to the City Attorney position. It is also worth noting that Mr. Mozingo has
achieved a professional ranking by Martindale-Hubbell (a respected independent national professional
rating service) as A.V. Preeminent, a rating that is awarded to the top 8 % of all lawyers within the United
States and Canada. (Attachment 3: Mozingo Curriculum Vitae)

Additionally, Mr. Mozingo was appointed to the Board of Trustees of the Harrison Memorial Library,
serving under two different Carmel mayors. He has had a home in Carmel for 27 years. Mr. Mozingo
meets our requirement stated in the RFQ as having an interest in and appreciation for Carmels
community and understands Carmels history, unique character and its actively-engaged citizens.

Therefore, the City Council has elected to retain G. R. Mozingo, Esq. as City Attorney. On direction of
the City Council, the Ad hoc Committee negotiated the attached draft Agreement (Attachment 4:
Agreement with G. R. Mozingo, Esq. APC) which is presented for approval and establishes the terms and
conditions of that arrangement.

SCOPE OF SERVICES
Among the list of General Counsel Services, Mr. Mozingo will act as legal counsel representing the City, will
attend council meetings, attend other meetings on request, provide legal advice, consult with and counsel
staff, prepare legal documents, advise on Public Records Act requests, oversee investigations, supervise
outside legal counsel when needed, and provide guidance and training to meet open government
requirements. In providing Extraordinary Services, which have to do mostly with complex matters and
litigation, Mr. Mozingo will, among other things, represent the City in litigation such as Writs of Mandate and
Pitchess motions, and will prosecute Municipal Code violations, infractions and misdemeanors as set out in
our Municipal Code when appropriate.

The proposed Agreement provisions include, but are not limited to, the following:
 1. The term begins July 15, 2017 and will run for an initial period of one year, with an option to extend
the agreement.
2. The General Counsel retainer during the FY 2017-2018 is set at $13,000 per month.
3. The Extraordinary Services hourly rate during the FY 2017-2018 is set a $275/hour.
4. Support Services (such as clerical or paralegal) for General Counsel Services are included in the
monthly retainer fee.
5. Support Services for Extraordinary Services will be charged at the rate of $65/hour.
6. Performance reviews are held at three, six, and twelve months from date of hire, then annually
thereafter on extension of the agreement.

Mr. Mozingo will be paid as an independent contractor, and as such, will be responsible for all State and
Federal income taxes, Social Security, and Medicare payments.

Accordingly, the Ad hoc Committee recommends that the Council adopt a Resolution authorizing the Mayor
to execute a contract for legal services with Glen. R. Mozingo, Esq. APC as City Attorney for the initial term
of July 15, 2017 to July 15, 2018.

Funds have been budgeted in FY2017-2018 for City Attorney services.
