I ;:7/ . <br />CITY ~:~A ~~JI {)t{ t~-.__ . <br /> <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br />CONTINUED TO <br /> <br />FILE NUMBER <br /> <br />Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the <br />Clerk of the Council to execute an amendment to the legal services <br />agreement with McCune and Harber increasing the hourly rate from $135 to <br />$155. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />While the City Attorney's Office provides the vast majority of its legal <br />services and representation though staff counsel, from time to time it is <br />necessary to contract for services through outside counsel. The law firm <br />of McCune and Harber has provided legal services to the City and its <br />employees in the specialized area of major tort liability and police- <br />related litigation. Funds for this activity are provided through the <br />Liability Fund managed by the Risk Management Division of the Personnel <br />Services Agency. <br /> <br />The City Attorney's Office has been notified by the firm that they wish to <br />increase their fees by $20.00 per hour, the only fee increase requested <br />since the firm was first retained in January of 2002. The firm continues <br />to provide the City with exceptional and cost-effective representation. <br />Staff recommends the agreement be amended to increase the hourly rate to <br />$155. <br /> <br />25N-1 <br />
