The City contracts with the law firm Best Best & Krieger, LLP (BBK) to provide legal services. DISCUSSION: BBK City Attorney Patrick Donegan has departed for an opportunity to serve in-house as an Assistant City Attorney with the City of Laguna Beach and recommended the appointment of Nicolas Papajohn, also from BBK as the new City Attorney. Mr. Papajohn is a member of BBK's Municipal Law practice group. He advises cities and other public agencies on a wide variety of municipal law issues, including Land Use, Planning & Zoning, the Brown Act, the Public Records Act, and the Political Reform Act. Nick enjoys working with public clients on a daily basis and helping them navigate complex and ever- evolving legal issues impacting local government. Nick has dedicated his entire legal career to representing public agencies. Prior to joining BBK, Nick was a senior associate at a California-based municipal law firm, where he represented cities and special districts throughout the State. He also gained valuable experience previously working in-house as legal counsel for an Orange County public agency.
