Our engagement will be limited to consulting <br />with the City on government affairs matters relating to the federal government's TCAAP decision process <br />in order to obtain control of the desired land area in a timely fashion. More specifically, we will assist in <br />developing support for the City from elected officials at the federal and state levels, including Rep. Betty <br />McCollum, Sen. Mark Dayton and key state legislative and state agency leaders, as necessary. The <br />pending election campaign, coupled with legislative redistricting, produces some uncertainty about which <br />legislative and ageney leaders to engage at this time. <br /> <br />Our services in this matter will be provided on an hourly basis at our normal rates. Chris Dietzen's hourly <br />rate for 2002 is $300.00 per hour. Peter Coyle's hourly rate for 2002 is $260.00 per hour. These rates are <br />subject to adjustment periodically. Associate and paralegal rates range from $85.00 per hour to $220.00 <br />per hour. Our projected budget for 2002 is $35,000; for 2003, we projeet a budget of $50,000. The actual <br />expenditure for legal fees will depend on tasks we undertake in support of the City and its proposed <br />developers. Weare not including legal work relating to environmental issues in our estimate of fees. <br />Should we be requested to provide such assistance, we will separately confirm the work with an estimate <br />of fees. In addition to our legal fees, the City will be responsible for our out-of-pocket costs for items <br />such as photocopies, couriers, mileage, airfare, hotel, etc. Weare not anticipating out-of-town travel at <br />this time. <br /> <br />. Thank you for the opportunity to advise the City on this important matter. <br />
