In an open meeting, the Commissioners Court of Brazoria County considered all matters listed Section §2254.1036(a)(1) of the Government Code, as they relate to a contingent fee contract with Perdue Brandon Fielder Collins and Mott, LLP.
The Commissioners Court, pursuant to Section §2254.1036(b), of the Government Code, hereby finds the following to be true:
1) there is a substantial need for the legal services specified in said contract;
2) these legal services cannot be adequately performed by the attorneys and supporting personnel of Brazoria County; and
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 the matter for which these services will be obtained or because Brazoria County does not have funds to pay the estimated amounts required under a contract providing only for the payment of hourly fees.
Therefore, Commissioners Court of Brazoria County hereby approves the contract by and between Brazoria County and Perdue Brandon Fielder Collins & Mott, LLP, for professional legal services regarding the collection of delinquent ad valorem taxes with services to be paid in accordance with Section §6.30 of the Tax Code.
