LILIENTHAL HARRY A. JOHNSTON U July 3, 1972 Town Commissioners Town of Gulf Stream P.O. Box 255 Delray Beach, FL 33444 Gentlemen: 6550108 1.10$ P. O. BOX 4S Some time ago I informed Mr. Worthing of the necessity for our firm to increase the fee which is now being charged the Town of Gulf Stream for legal services. I now relate this information to you for your consideration. For several years this firm has represented the Town of Gulf Stream for a retainer of $50.00 per month, with an additional charge for work done over and above the regular course of the Town's business. We have found, due to inflation and the increase in time and effort expended toward the legal problems of the Town, that it is economically unfeasible for our firm to continue representation on such a basis. Thus, we submit the following proposal: Representation would continue on the basis of $75.00 per month as a retainer fee. This would include such services as attending meetings, rendering legal advice and opinions, time expended on telephone calls, ordinary communications, etc. The prepartaion of ordinances, resulutions, extraordinary legal research, litigation and any other matter outside the ordinary course of business would not be included in the retainer fee. Fees for those services would necessarily have to be computed on an hourly basis of $30.00 per hour. This firm has enjoyed representing the Town of Gulf Stream for the past several years and would like to continue in that capacity. We hope that the terms set out herein meet with your approval. Please feel free to call if you have any questions in regard to this matter. Thank you.
