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.

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).
