City Council appoints a City Attorney to serve as the chief legal advisor to Council and the City Manager, and other departments, boards, commissions and agencies of the City as designated by Council. Currently, only limited representation is provided to the Commissioner of Revenue, the Treasurer and the Department of Social Services, concerning general administrative matters unrelated to the core functions of those offices. Though the City Charter provides that the City Attorney is the “chief legal officer” of “agencies of the city, including the school board,” the Franklin City School Board is presently represented by separate counsel.
