7/14/2016

0 Comments

 
NEW COUNTY COUNSEL David Prentice with Prentice Long & Epperson LLP was introduced at the Sierra County Board of Supervisors’ meeting held in Downieville on July 5th. Prentice told the Board he was very excited to be here. He stated he is trying to create a county counsel department and feels this will enhance the services. Prentice stated one person can’t do everything, but he will be the department head. He said his partner Margaret Long is the Assistant County Counsel and will oversee CPS work and supervise Deputy County Counsel Sophia Meyer who is a former prosecutor and assistant district at-
 ​torney in Modoc County. She will be doing the public guardian and CPS work. Joe Larmour is their expert on marijuana legislation and will be doing all the Board of Equalization and Planning Department work and will be attending the planning commission meetings. Prentice’s partner Jason Epperson will help with the litigation team. Prentice concluded by wanting to impress to the Board that he is always available.  Board of Supervisors’ Chair Lee Adams said he felt fortunate to have him and his team on board.
Cost of Prentice Long & Epperson LLP is $19,000/month; “buying his firm,” according to Treasurer/Tax Collector Van Maddox. With five-+ lawyers, Maddox says “we avoid outside counsel costs.”
