Interview Prosecutin�Attornev Steve Tallen (continuedl <br /> Tallen stated he tries to run an efficient, aggressive firm with a heart with reasonable <br /> representation. Council can give the direction of what is important. It is his belief that the <br /> passenger should pay the fines. Misdemeanor civil cases solve the problem. <br /> If Council would extend an offer for his services there would need to be timing for taking <br /> on another community and coordinate with the police department. He would also request <br /> the court to switch the Orono day for prosecution and coordinate that with the police <br /> department. Tallen & Baertschi are ready to take on another city. Tallen would like to be <br /> connected to the City's records through LOGIS if possible. <br /> Tallen stated that the City's current prosecutor is just himself. Tallen's firm has a staff. <br /> Walsh stated that Tallen's firm provides depth and the assurance that someone is always <br /> available in the office. <br /> Orono rates would be based on a fixed fee and the workload would fluctuate depending on <br /> how zealous a police officer may be in issuing tickets. Appeals would be billed at an hourly <br /> rate and out of pocket expenses would be billed back to the City. <br /> In closing Tallen stated he would like to work for the City of Orono. <br /> Adjournment 6:45 p.m. <br /> ATTEST <br /> C__-` __. <br /> � _-���- .., .__ <br /> Anna Carlson, City Clerk Dennis Walsh, Mayor <br /> Page 4 of 4 <br />
