City Staffing Appointment
Summary
Belmont just hired its first in-house city attorney, so legal advice is now on staff instead of outsourced. That could speed up city decisions and contracts—and maybe save money on outside legal bills. Why care? Faster legal review can mean quicker permits, projects, and services for residents.

Impact analysis
Belmont will trade outside legal bills for a staff salary and benefits, so the net cost depends on how much legal work stays in-house.
City officials and residents should benefit from faster legal reviews, which can move contracts and decisions along more quickly.
Outside law firms that previously billed Belmont for legal services may lose that contract revenue.
