Ms. Julie Fleming would take two (2) to six (6) hours and charge $100.00 per <br />hour.

Ms. Goering explained that she had served Prior Lake, Eagan <br />and the Forest Lake School District in similar circumstances. Council Member Lyden <br />explained that there are 10 hours of tapes to deal with. Ms. Goering said that she would <br />charge $135.00 an hour and said that this rate may be negotiable.

Ms. Goering explained <br />that they are protected until final action is taken by the City Council. Council Member <br />PAGE 1 <br />
