The Rutherford County Commission's Steering Committee last week recommended extending a general legal services agreement with County Attorney Jim Cope and his firm. The recommendation will include a resolution to contract with Cope for a flat fee rate of $259,000. Cope is currently paid a retainer and hourly rate, which causes fluctuation in costs, the Murfreesboro Post reports.
