[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Marjo is now citing legal analysis related to the contract. This is actually the interesting part of the hearing. Her argument is that if the City backs out of the contract, the Council will be signaling that the city can not be relied to hold up other contracts.

Marjo claims that since the extension has been signed, it's a done deal. And yet they plead for the Council to not take action. [/quote]

She is fundamentally right as a matter of contract law- the extension was agreed upon and executed by both parties.

The reason they are pleading with the Council is because they realize they have a major problem if DPR/DGS didn't follow regulations in how they review and approve contracts.  If they did not, then the contract is void because DGS/DPR did not have the legal right to execute it.  All agencies are granted the right to bind the District government to contracts if they follow the laws and regulations as passed by the Council.  Would love to hear more about how the legal analysis was done and who signed off on it from OAG or the Mayor's Office of Legal Counsel.[/quote]
