BRAY <br /> 'ATRICK J. SULLIVAN <br /> ...;USAN E. POTTS <br /> Honorable Emmie Craddock <br /> Mayor of San Marcos <br /> 630 East Hopkins <br /> San Marcos, Texas 73666 <br /> RE: City of San Marcos; Proposal for Legal Services <br /> Dear Mayor Craddock: <br /> This will confirm our agreement that the firm of Booth, Simmons <br /> & Newsom, P.C. will represent the City of San Marcos with respect to <br /> a proposed application for a wastewater discharge permit. <br /> Additionally, we will represent the City in any other matter which <br /> you request, provided we do not have a conflict of interest. We <br /> will represent the City under your direction or under the direction <br /> of the city's attorney. <br /> Until other arrangements are agreed upon, please direct <br /> inquiries and instructions to the undersigned. However, other <br /> attorneys may perform services relating to this matter with a goal <br /> to utilize the most cost-effective attorney that is qualified and <br /> available to perform the service. Depending upon the experience <br /> and expertise of the attorney performing the service, at this time <br /> the firm charges $70 to $180 per chargeable hour. The monthly <br /> statement will list, on a daily basis, the attorneys who worked <br /> on the matter, a description of the services performed by each <br /> attorney, and the charges for such services based upon the time <br /> spent and the hourly charge. Additionally, we utilize briefing <br /> clerks to perform those tasks not requiring the skill of an attorney <br /> and, at this time, charge $30 per hour for the services of clerks. <br /> We will submit all out-of-pocket expenses incurred for <br /> reimbursement, with a 15% overhead charge added to such expenses. <br /> However, we usually ask the client to pay statutory fees directly <br /> due to the amount and to avoid the overhead charge. We endeavor <br /> to have a statement of services rendered and expenses incurred in <br /> the mail by the 15th of each month and anticipate payment within <br /> 30 days after the statement is received. <br />
