For 19 days, South Lake Tahoe will have three city attorneys.
Jacqueline Mittelstadt and Patrick Enright came onboard June 1. City Attorney Cathy DiCamillo retires June 19. She is hanging on a couple weeks to help the newbies get up to speed.
Mittelstadt, who most recently worked in the private sector but has 14 years experience as a city attorney in San Diego, is the city’s official city attorney.
Enright, who worked for a private firm in San Luis Obispo, is filling a position the council created May 19, the same day both were officially hired. His title is redevelopment counsel/deputy city attorney.
Both earn $128,000 a year and signed a two-year contract.
In a staff report, City Manager Dave Jinkens wrote, “It is anticipated that the hiring of a Redevelopment Counsel/Deputy City attorney will have up to 50% of their salary paid from savings in the legal reorganization and savings from use of outside legal counsel.”
No figures are available for how much the city spends on outside special counsel.
