City Attorney Professional Services Contract
Details: Knapp, O'Dell & MacPherson PLLC, Attorneys at Law, have served as the City's attorney since 1981. At that time, the attorneys estimated that the firm would render 40 hours of legal services per month, with 20 hours allocated to civil matters and 20 hours allocated to the municipal court. The City has grown significantly since that time and the hours that have been spent on City business has grown as well. Since January 1, 2015, the monthly compensation has been $9,000 per month. The law firm proposed to increase the monthly compensation to $9,500 per month effective January 1, 2018 and to increase the amount 3% every year thereafter. The proposal also included that the hourly rates for extra legal services for 2018 be raised to $195 per hour for municipal court appeals and $215 per hour for additional civil legal services. Those rates would increase 2% every year thereafter.
