Mounds View City Council July 28, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 13 <br /> <br />City Administrator Ulrich indicated that Kennedy & Graven had agreed to decrease the retainer 1 <br />by $500.00 per month and only attend one meeting. Any subsequent meetings attended by the 2 <br />City Attorney would be billed at $125.00 per hour. 3 <br /> 4 <br />Mayor Linke indicated that doing so would save the City $6000 per year. 5 <br /> 6 <br />Council Member Marty questioned whether mileage is charged to drive to the Council meeting. 7 <br /> 8 <br />City Attorney Vose indicated he does not intend to charge for the mileage for this meeting or the 9 <br />last one that he attended and that would be his policy and he would pass that along to Scott but 10 <br />he is not sure what Scott has been doing. 11 <br /> 12 <br />Council Member Stigney asked whether the $125.00 per hour starts at the beginning of the 13 <br />meeting or the end of the meeting. 14 <br /> 15 <br />Mr. Vose indicated that it is firm procedure to begin billing when they get in the car but not to 16 <br />bill on the way home and that is fairly typical for other attorneys. 17 <br /> 18 <br />Council Member Stigney indicated that he would like to change that practice for the City and 19 <br />does not think the City should have to pay for driving time at $125.00 per hour. 20 <br /> 21 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Gunn.
