Why Key Colony Beach needs three or more attorneys at every city meeting?

» At the May 18, 2023 City Commission Meeting, the lead city attorney Dirk Smits corrected the belief that "Most estimates show the current firm charges $500/hour including travel time per attorney."
» KCB contracts with Attorney Smits' firm for legal services at a cost of $125,000 for FY 2022-23. Other charges such as litigation costs can be billed separately. It seems the city gets a bargain! (The legal services budget for FY 2021-22 was $109,000 and the city projects expenses of $131,000 for the current year.)
» One attorney (Tom Wright, Esq) easily handled all City legal obligations for years. The law was a wee bit less expensive then
» The city charter instructs that "there shall be a City Attorney of the City ... appointed," which implies one attorney, not a wake of them.
