BERLIN — The city council Monday night approved hiring separate legal counsel for the Board of Assessors. The board had requested in writing that the city provided it with legal representation as its abatement process faces possible review by the N.H. Board of Tax and Land Appeals.

City Manager James Wheeler provided a contract with the Concord law firm of Gallagher, Callahan & Gartrell and the board of assessors. The city will be billed at the hourly rate of $325 and $225 for attorney time and $125 for paralegal work.
