The existing contract for indigent defense representation with your city is scheduled to
expire January 1, 2016.
Enclosed please find a copy of a new contract for your review and hopefully your
signature. Based upon an analysis of our cost efficiencies for the year 2016, the charge
per case will be $77.64. The total amount charged per case is also based upon an
anticipated 2016 state reimbursement rate of 48%.
Please contact me if you have any questions concerning the above.
