Anthony City Offices 3301 Silver Lake Road St. Anthony, MN 55418 Re : 1983 Prosecution Contract for the City of St. Anthony. Dear Mr . Childs : I enjoyed meeting with you on October 7 , 1982 , to discuss the possibility of our firm obtaining the Prosecution Contract for the City of St . Anthony. Pursuant to our phone conversation of December 1 , 1982 , you informed me that the City of St. Anthony has decided to retain the Dorsey firm as Prosecutor for the City of St . Anthony for calendar year 1983. You informed me that the Dorsey firm made a very lucrative • offer to the City of .St . Anthony , in that the firm would handle prosecutions for a maximum billing of $1 ,500.00 a month. I have discussed that amount with my partner, Mr. Doran, and we would make the following offer to the City of St . Anthony at this time. If the Prosecution Contract was awarded to the law firm of Johnson & Doran for the calendar year of 1983 , we would take that contract on an hourly basis of $60 .00 an hour with a maximum ceiling of $15 ,000 .00 a year . That could mean a savings of $3 ,000 .00 to the City of St. Anthony. With my 711 years experience as a Special Assistant Attorney General assigned to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, and Mr. Doran' s 16 months of experience in the same area, we feel that we would be offering the City of St . Anthony needed prosecution experience with a cost savings of $3 ,000 .00. We await your response regarding our offer. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, __Bernard..E.
