DESCRIPTION: The City has contracted with Meyers, Nave, Riback, Silver &
Wilson (or its predecessors) for legal services since incorporation. The current agreement for legal
services is dated on July 1, 1998 (Attachment 1). The agreement for legal services was amended effective
June 15, 1999, July 1, 2000, July 1, 2001, July 1, 2002, July 1, 2003 (Attachments 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6).
COPIES TO:
ITEM NO. ~
H/cc-forms/agdastmt. doc / ~-2~
The City Attorney has requested that the coUncil consider changes to the agreement. The changes
would be to increase the hourly rate for litigation and for all work performed by the City Attorney for
which a third party reimburses the City for legal services from $210 to $220 an hour.
The increase from $210 to $220 is a 4.7% increase. Approximately 45% of the City Attorney's
work during this fiscal year has been billed at the lower rate and 55% has been billed at the higher rate, so
the overall effective increase is approximately 2.8%.
Attachment 7 is a proposed Fifth Amendment to the Agreement for Legal Services. The only
changes from the current agreement are as described above.
The proposed amendment would be effective July 1, 2004.
The City Attorney has also asked that the Council appoint John Bakker as the Assistant City
Attorney. Currently there is no one designated as the Assistant City Attorney. Mr. Bakker, who is an
associate with the firm of Meyers, Nave, Riback, Silver & Wilson, has been performing work for Dublin
for more than three years. He has advised the City on a number of important matters. For example, he
drafted the revised Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance and prepared all of the agreements and other
documents that implement the revised ordinance. In addition, Mr. Bakker has advised the City on a
number of development projects, including the Pinn Brothers and IKEA projects in Eastern Dublin.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that by motion the City Council authorize the Mayor to execute the Fifth
Amendment to Agreement for Legal Services (Attachment 7) and approve the resolution appointing Mr.
Bakker as the Assistant City Attorney (Attachment 8).
