,
The increase from $180 to $185 is a 2.77% increase and the increase from $220 to $225 is a 2.27%
increase. We anticipate that approximately 5()OIo of the City Attorney's work during this fiscal year will be
biUed at the lower rate and 50% will be billed at the higher rate, so the overall effective increase is
approximately 2.52%.
Attachment 8 is a proposed Seventh Amendment to the Agreement for Legal Services. The only
changes from the cmrent agreement are as described above.
The proposed amendment would be effective July I, 2005. The City Attorney and the Council's
designated representatives have been discussing these changes since June of this year, thus allowing the
retroactive charge in rates.
R«:ommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Seventh Amendment to the Agreement for
Legal Services and authorize Mayor to execute same.
