y • <br /> • Mr. David Childs <br /> February 24 , 1983 <br /> Page 2 <br /> (2) Obviously, our office is very accessible to the police. To my <br /> knowledge, it is the only law office within the city limits .. <br /> It is never closed for vacations. There is often times an <br /> attorney working on evenings or weekends. During working <br /> hours , telephone lines are always answered by an employee as <br /> opposed to an answering service or machine. We do not now, <br /> nor do we expect to have, unlisted home telephone numbers, <br /> and in .emergencies ; could be reached at home; <br /> (3) As I have previously indicated, I believe that there should <br /> be an open line of communication between the police department <br /> and the attorney who represents them. I believe thi.s will occur <br /> somewhat automatically because of existing acquaintances and <br /> the proximity of our office , however, some regular meetings <br /> or memos are appropriate and necessary. <br /> (4) Based upon the information that we have received as to the <br /> number and type of prosecutions, we would represent the City <br /> in - these matters at a fixed fee of $1,500 per month for a <br /> twelve-month period expiring no later than June 1,. 1984. <br /> This fee assumes that there is no substantial increase in <br /> the amount of work to be performed which results from changes <br /> in existing enforcement procedure , prosecution procedure , such <br /> as prohibitions against plea negotiations , or applicable law. <br /> In addition, no prosecutorial appeals would ]fie included in <br /> that fee, and the preparation of appellate briefs in an appeal <br /> by a defendant would be considered a reimbursable out-of-pocket <br /> expenditure. <br /> I trust that this information. is helpful to you. <br /> Yours very t u-lye, <br /> E r UW D J.
