Re: Growth Management Division - Budget
Dear Mr. Roberts:
Compensation for legal services provided by the firm of Morgan and Hendrick during fiscal
year 1994-95 will exceed the budgeted amount. The figure of $250,000 was alloted at the
beginning of last fiscal year.
Our letter of Engagement, dated December 22, 1994, states: "unless otherwise subsequently
agreed, the compensation earned by the Law Firm as fees under this Contract shall not
exceed $250,000 for the fiscal year 1994-95". At this time invoices through September have
exceeded the budget amount.
Service provided through September will amount to approximately $265,000. However,
invoices to the County under the contract for litigation were substantially below the amount
budgeted for fiscal year 1994-95.
Accordingly, we request that an amendment to our Letter of Engagement be placed on the
next BOCC agenda, revising the $250,000 to $265,000, and reducing the complex litigation
funds from $150,000 to $135,000.
ACKNOWLEDGED, UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED
Sincerely, THIS 21st DAY OF November , 1995.
