CARIAON <br />ROBERT L DAvwmN <br />Samantha Orduno <br />Administrator <br />City of Mounds View <br />2401 Highway 10 <br />Mounds View, MN 55112-1499 <br />RE: Attorneys' Fees for 1994 <br />Dear Samantha: <br />Our firm currently charges the city hourly rates of $90 for attorneys, $60 for <br />paralegals and $45 for law clerks. During the past year, approximately 75% of the <br />time spent on legal matters for the city has involved attorneys; the remaining 25%has <br />been handled by paralegals and law clerks. <br />For 1994, I am proposing to raise the hourly rate for attorneys to $95. The hourly <br />rates for law clerks and paralegals will remain the same. This change equates to an <br />approximate 3.3% annual increase. In order to control as much as possible the cost <br />of legal services for 1994, 1 will continue our efforts to use paralegals and law clerks <br />to meet the city's legal needs. We have been successful during the past year in <br />using paralegals to assist the Finance Department in collecting delinquent water <br />bills. Virtually all of the work on that matter has been done by Connie Herbst, a <br />paralegal with our office. I hope to improve on our efforts for 1994. <br />If you have any questions about our proposed fees for 1994, please feel free to give <br />me a call. <br />Sincerely, <br />`r""— 111 rtoJo <br />e d'.
