Re:Name Change
Dear Mr. Rissman:
In the Second Amendment to the Legal Services Agreement between Monroe County and your firm,
we agreed that additions and deletions of the names of attorneys working on matters for Monroe
County could be brought about with prior written approval of the County Attorney's Office. By this
letter, I am approving the addition of the following names for Monroe County matters, retroactive to
October 1, 2022: Isaac H. Horowitz.
Very truly yours,
Cynthia L. Hall

Hi. In the Second Amendment to the agreement,we specified that we no longer needed to take each name change back to the
BOCC in the form of an amendment to the agreement. Instead, each name change could be added with prior written approval
of this office. (This made things easier for us.) Here is the language from the Second Amendment:
1'he f►19r} 'ing Jaangua.g,e is added tr:u par,1,1,r�jp� t I;l,~laatir)y rates and fitt'ackee:paers):

The name of Isaac Horowitz as an associate first showed up on an invoice last October. Attached is the letter from the County
Attorney's Office approving the addition of this associate.

Good morning Cynthia,
Yes, understood.
Respectfully, (and unfortunately), I believe she is denying it because Associate Horowitz is not named in the latest
contract:

Hi Kelly. We have run into this before. Associates are a type of attorney. In law firms,there are basically two types of
attorneys: partners and associates. (Also sometimes "of counoe|.") |n this contract all types of attorneys are billed at the same
rate.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
