8 <br />12.3.1. Upon notice of termination, Conflict Attorney shall promptly, but in no <br />event later than three (3) business days after notice of termination, <br />identify to the City all pending cases. The City shall re-assign all cases that <br />remain unresolved at the time of termination except for those cases in <br />which special circumstances exist, such as imminent trial schedule, lengthy <br />or complex course of litigation, special client circumstances, or other client <br />or case-based interests that may require continued representation by <br />Conflict Attorney. <br />12.3.2. For those cases that Conflict Attorney retains due to the existence of <br />special circumstances, the terms of this Agreement will remain in force and <br />effect until final resolution of such retained cases. City will not assign any <br />new cases to the Conflict Attorney during the period the Conflict Attorney <br />is resolving retained cases under this provision. <br />12.4. Termination shall not affect the rights of the City under any other section herein. <br />13. Non-Assignment. Conflict Attorney shall not subcontract, assign or delegate any of the <br />rights, duties or obligations, covered by this Agreement without the prior express written <br />consent of the City, which consent may be reasonably withdrawn. <br />14. Public Records Act. This Agreement and all public records associated with this Agreement <br />shall be available from the City for inspection and copying by the public where required <br />by the Public Records Act, Chapter 42.56 RCW (the “Act”). To the extent that public <br />records then in the custody of Conflict Attorney are needed for the City to respond to a <br />request under the Act, as determined by the City, Conflict Attorney agrees to make them <br />promptly available to the City. If the Conflict Attorney considers any portion of any record <br />provided to the City under this Agreement, whether in electronic or hard copy form, to <br />be protected from disclosure under law, Conflict Attorney shall clearly identify any <br />specific information that it claims to be confidential or proprietary. If the City re ceives a <br />request under the Act to inspect or copy the information so identified by Conflict Attorney <br />and the City determines that release of the information is required by the Act or otherwise <br />appropriate, the City’s sole obligations shall be to notify Conflict Attorney (a) of the <br />request and (b) of the date that such information will be released to the requester unless <br />Conflict Attorney obtains a court order to enjoin that disclosure pursuant to RCW <br />42.56.540. If Conflict Attorney fails to timely obtain a court order enjoining disclosure, <br />the City will release the requested information on the date specified. <br /> The City has, and by this section assumes, no obligation on behalf of Conflict Attorney to <br />claim any exemption from disclosure under the Act. The City shall not be liable to the <br />Conflict Attorney for releasing records not clearly identified by Conflict Attorney as <br />confidential or proprietary. The City shall not be liable to Conflict Attorney for any records
