Cosentino Email to: MCosentinosanmarcostx.gov <br /> City Attorney <br /> City of San Marcos <br /> 630 East Hopkins <br /> San Marcos, Texas 78666 <br /> RE: Proposal for Legal Services <br /> City of San Marcos <br /> Dear Michael: <br /> I am pleased to have this opportunity to submit this proposal on behalf of <br /> Davidson Troilo Ream & Garza, a Professional Corporation, to provide legal services to <br /> the City of San Marcos regarding a request for an ethics advisory opinion requested by <br /> Councilman Scott Gregson. Davidson Troilo Ream & Garza has focused primarily on • <br /> the public sector and our firm has a long history of successful collaborative effort in the <br /> representation of municipalities. As such, we are well qualified to provide legal services <br /> to the City of San Marcos. <br /> Davidson Troilo Ream & Garza is prepared with extensive experience in handling <br /> all legal issues associated with the ethics advisory opinion. Our firm clearly understands <br /> the needs of cities to have effective legal assistance while also keeping those costs down. <br /> Our firm has assisted the following cities with ethics matters, including opinions for the <br /> following cities: Balcones Heights, Bulverde, Helotes, Karnes City, Kyle, Live Oak, <br /> Olmos Park, Poteet, and San Antonio. <br /> I propose to have the City's team led by Lea Ream and me. Our fees for <br /> professional services are charged at hourly rates ranging from $210.00 to $350.00. <br /> Services that I and Lea Ream will perform will be at the reduced rate of 5210.00 per hour <br /> and our associate Ashley White at $175.00 per hour. The services for our paralegal <br /> personnel, who assist our attorneys by performing many technical services under their <br /> supervision, are charged at $90.00 an hour. The firm's fees shall not exceed $5,000.00 <br /> without City Council approval. <br /> If selected, our firm will bill the City monthly for services rendered and for any <br /> support expenses (copying, special mailing, out of town travel, etc.) incurred in its behalf. <br /> Our statements are payable within thirty (30) days upon receipt. Since I am familiar with <br /> the requirements of most cities, our statements will include a description and a <br /> #241854 <br /> 601 NW LOOP 410,SUITE 100 SA'F1 L1NIUi'TU),TN 73216-5511 210.349 6484 F 210 349.0041 D T RGLAW.COM <br />
