BRIGGS AND MORGAN <br /> • M E M O R A N D U M <br /> June 15, 1988 <br /> TO: David M. Childs <br /> City Manager <br /> City of St. Anthony <br /> FROM: David McDonald <br /> Briggs and Morgan <br /> Re: Attorneys ' Fees for TCAAP Litigation <br /> This memorandum is meant to detail our discussion <br /> on Monday, June 6, 1988 . On that day, we discussed our <br /> previous agreement with respect to attorneys ' fees for <br /> representing the City of St. Anthony in the litigation <br /> . over their contaminated groundwater. Our previous agreement <br /> • was set forth in John Van de North' s letter to William <br /> Soth of May 23, 1985 (attached) . <br /> I initiated this discussion because I realized <br /> that we had never set a rate for time spent by paralegals <br /> on this litigation. In reviewing the correspondence, I <br /> realized that several factors had changed substantially <br /> since we agreed to our original fee arrangement. Specifi- <br /> cally, our fee arrangement entered into in May of 1985 <br /> contemplated damages not to exceed $200, 000. As you are <br /> aware, our present claim on behalf of the City of St. <br /> Anthony is approaching $2 million. <br /> 1 <br />
