Hansley City Manager City of Dublin 6665 Coffman Road Dublin, Ohio 43017 Re: Contract Renewal for Legal Services Dear Tim: Pursuant to our previous discussions, please find enclosed a copy of our contract for renewal. In reviewing last year's work, I have found that the amount of hours which I have spent on Dublin has increased significantly and, as you are aware, my billable rate is normally $125.00 per hour for office work and $150.00 per hour for trial work. I have always given Dublin a break on fees due to the large volume of work and our long standing relationship. I am requesting that the contract remain exactly as it has been in the past, with the exception that the hourly rate be increased from $60.00 to $85.00. I am sure from the other attorney fee bills which you have examined from the other firms we deal with, you recognize the savings that we are affording Dublin even with this increase. In reviewing the records, I think you will also note that there has been no increase in our fees for a significant amount of time. Looking forward to our continued relationship. Very truly Stephen J. smith SJS:bg Enclosure ~ r C. Litigation. D. All other work as requested by the Manager and/or Council. E.
