Davidson Troilo Ream & Garza has focused primarily <br /> on the public sector and our firm has a long history of successful collaborative effort in <br /> the representation of municipalities. As such, we are well qualified to provide legal <br /> services 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 myself. 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$210.00 per hour <br /> and our associate Molly Solis 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 /> breakdown of each of my entries for each day, the amount of time expended and the <br /> #241854 :ai ISE" 2. r Ti:/-,C . ,_, L: <br /> 601 NW LOOP 410,SUITE 100 SAN ANTONIO,TX 78216-5511 T 210.349.6484 F 210.349.0041 DTRGLAW.COM <br />
