111e City has contracted "\vith Meyers, Nave, Riback, Silver & Wilson (or its
predecessors) for legal services since incorporation. The cunent agreement for legal
services is dated on July 1,1990, and has been amended three times. (Exhibits B, C,
D and E.)
The City AttOlTley has requestf"r1 that the Council consider two changes to the
agreement.
TI1e fiTst change would increase the houdy rate for litigation (see section 4 of
u1e proposed agreement, Exhihit A). Currently tl1e City AttOlney is compensated at
the I'ate of S; 1 SO an hour for all eminent domain actions and CEQA..lav.:suits in vl/hich
. the City is a defendant; all otl1er litigation is paid at S; 140 an haUL The proposal
would provide that tl1e hourly rate for all litigation is $150 for associates and would
increase the hourly rate for partners in tl1e fin'll to S)17S. This would be the first

increase in litigation rates since 1991. The p.ruposed rates are still less than the Hrm's
standard hourly rates and is not in excess of the market rate for legal se.rvices for a
law Hnn Witll tlle experience and expe.rtise in litigation on behalf of public entities
offered by Meyers, Nave, Riback, Silver & Wilson.
.
TIle second dlange would increase tlle maxinlwn amowlt repolted to PERS as
compensation for tlle City Attorney by tlle increase in the Consumer Price Index (see
section 5 oftlle proposed agreement, Exhibit A). TIle City Attorney is a member of
PERS and the City pays bOtll the employer and employee contributions. Since July
1,1995 tlle agreement has established the Cit")' Attorney's monthly compensation to
be repo.rted to PERS as no more tllan $4000. TIle p.ruposed amendment would
increase tllis amowlt effective July 1, 1998, by 396 (to $4120) whidl is tlle increase in
tlle Consumer Price Index (Urban Wage Earners for tlle San Francisco~Oakland~San
Jose Area) f.rum February 1997 to Februa.ry 1998. It would p.ruvide for a similar
adjustment eadl July 1 based on the change in the Consumer Price Index in Febroa.ry
of eadl year. It appears reasonable to tie tlle amount of the City Attorney's
compensation for PERS pUlposes to dlanges in tlle CPI inasmudl as tllere is not a
comparable City position to use as a "bendllna.rk." 111e increased cost to tlle City
will be $8.40 a montll (tlle increase in tlle cost of the City's payment oftlle City
Attorney's PERS cont.ribution).
.
Because tlle current agreement has been amended tllree times, a restated and
revised agreement has been prepared. TIle only differences from tlle current
agreement are in sections 4 and 5 of tl1e proposed agreement (Exhibit A).
111e proposed restated and revised agreement would be effective July 1, 1998.
Recommendation.
Staff recommends tl1at by motion the City Council authorize tl1e Mayor to
execute the restated and revised Agreement for Legal Services (Exhibit A).
