In Re: SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT - INDEPENDENT COUNSEL
FOR SHERIFF JOHANNES SPREEN
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS the Oakland County Sheriff, Johannes Spreen, has
requested the assignment of independent counsel; and
WHEREAS there may arise lawsuits in which the insurance
carriers may deny coverage on a particular aspect of the lawsuit
or advise that the lawsuit is over the insurance coverage policy
limits; and
WHEREAS the Board of Commissioners has an established
policy with regard to the hiring of outside or independent legal
counsel, as is set forth in Miscellaneous Resolution $8082,
adopted July 21, 1977.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Sheriff Spreen may
retain the law firm of Jenkins, Nystrom, Hitchcock & Nystrom, on
a case-by-case basis, to be approved in advance by the Oakland
County Board of Commissioners in accordance with the procedures
contained in Miscellaneous Resolution 48082, when he has been
advised by insurance carriers that the lawsuit claim is over the
insurance policy limits, or that there is no coverage on a par-
ticular aspect of the lawsuit and the Sheriff has been advised by
the insurance carriers that he may wish to hire his own attorney.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Finance Committee, I
move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
