<br /> r . qbA <br /> - <br /> - <br /> Mr. Larry Gilley <br /> March 25, 1997 <br /> Page 2 <br /> As you know, our firm customarily provides legal services to <br /> clients based upon an hourly fee arrangement. However, in <br /> connection with these matters, we propose to represent the City on <br /> a modified hourly fee arrangement. Specifically, the Firm would <br /> represent the City based upon a "blended rate" of $175.00 per hour <br /> . for all legal services rendered. <br /> Our customary hourly rates established by the Firm's <br /> management committee range from $105.00 to $345.00 per hour. The <br /> principal attorneys who would be working on this matter have <br /> customary hourly rates of $245.00 per hour and $225.00 per hour. <br /> We anticipate that most of the work involved in these matters <br /> will be handled in San Marcos and/or Seguin. Accordingly, as an <br /> additional discount to the City, we will not charge the City for <br /> attorney travel time or expense for travel connected with hearings <br /> and/or meetings either in the City of San Marcos or the City of <br /> Seguin. <br /> In addition to fees for legal services, the Firm would also <br /> bill the City for actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in <br /> connection with the representation in these matters: Such expenses <br /> normally include long distance telephone calls, telecopy charges, <br /> photocopying charges, postage or alternative delivery services, and <br /> hearing transcription costs or costs for reproduction of exhibits <br /> by outside vendors. Expenses for large projects by outside vendors <br /> which are in excess of $100.00 would normally be forwarded directly <br /> to the City for direct payment to the vendor. <br /> I hope the City will be pleased with this proposed alternative <br /> fee arrangement. However, should there be any questions or if I <br /> can provide further information please let me know. <br /> If this fee arrangement is agreeable, I would appreciate it if <br /> you could have the appropriate representative of the City execute <br /> the "acknowledgement" at the conclusion of this letter on the <br /> attached copy and return it to me for my files. <br /> Again, thank you for the opportunity to represent the City in <br /> connection with these matters. Best wishes. <br /> Sincerely, <br />
