Q: My small town with a population less than 10K is on track to pay the city attorney 500K annually. Is this normal?
A:
It does seem excessive.
Did they handle any litigation for the City?
Maybe they should put it out for bid?

A:
Put the issue on the agenda of the city council then get as many people you know and others via petitions or flyers circulated to others in your community to attend and demand an answer from the City Council why the City Attorney for Solvang is grossly overpaid.
You can also complain to the California Attorney's General's Office and ask them to open an investigation.
Good luck.
