MARTIN JOHNSON <br /> PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL <br /> Mr. Michael Morrison, City Manager <br /> City of St. Anthony <br /> 3301 Silver Lake Road <br /> St. Anthony, MN 55418 <br /> RE: Prosecution Contracts -City of St. Anthony <br /> Dear Mike: <br /> Pursuant to our recent conversations,this letter will be our formal application for the firm of Foster, <br /> Wentzell, Hedback& Brever, LLC to renew the contract for prosecution services with the.City of St. <br /> Anthony. In discussing this matter with my partners, we have agreed that our fee for those prosecutions <br /> will remain the same at$3,000.00 per month. <br /> Our one concern in keeping the contract at$3,000.00 per month was the recent change for 1998 in the <br /> enforcement of the new DWI laws. 1 have had Leslie Witterschein draft a memorandum that should be <br /> included in the packet to the Council regarding those changes. Specifically,there has been a change in <br /> the seizure and forfeiture laws. In summary,the change has the potential to increase the number of cars <br /> that are seized for repeat DWI violations. This seizure and forfeiture is an administrative procedure that <br /> our office has not been asked to handle before 1998. We are concerned that the seizure activity will <br /> become burdensome. However,through the middle of February,there have been no seizures year to date. <br /> Finally, I have enclosed a memorandum from Steve Carlson which reviews statistics for 1997: We have <br /> attempted to quantitify the amount of revenue received on cases handied by our office and compare it to <br /> revenue receipt from other municipalities in Hennepin County. <br /> If you have any questions regarding any of this information,please feel free to contact me. It is my intent <br /> to be at the City Council meeting on March 10, 1998 at 7:00 p.m. I will also bring Leslie to that meeting.- <br /> Leslie will be on maternity leave for two-three months commencing about April 15, 1998.. <br /> Sincer 011 , <br /> obert .
