P8 BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS COUNTY of MONROE Mayor Craig Cates,District 1 The Florida Keys Mayor Pro Tern Holly Merrill Raschein,District 5 Michelle Lincoln,District 2 James K.Scholl,District 3 m' David Rice,District 4 Board of County Commissioners Meeting October 18, 2023 Agenda Item Number: P8 2023-1647 BULK ITEM: No DEPARTMENT: County Attorney TIME APPROXIMATE: STAFF CONTACT: Cynthia Hall N/A AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of the Eighth Amendment to the legal services agreement between Monroe County and law firm of Johnson, Anselmo, Murdoch, Burke, Piper& Hochman, P.A. to increase billing rates for partners, associates and paralegals by $5/hour, in line with the rate increase approved by Florida Municipal Insurance Trust for attorneys handling property and liability claims. Changes are retroactive to October 1, 2023. ITEM BACKGROUND: The law firm provides legal representation to the County on property and liability claims and related matters. To the extent that the firm bills the County for work that will be paid by the County up to the limit of the County's self-insured retention, or on other matters not covered by one of the County's insurance policies, it is necessary to have in place an agreement specifying the billing rates for the attorneys. On January 19, 2012, the BOCC approved an agreement with the law firm. The billing rates for the attorneys were set to coincide with the billing rates that will be paid by the Florida Municipal Insurance Trust (FMIT), the carrier for many of the County's insurance policies. Over the years, from time to time, the parties have revised the billing rate in the agreement to coincide with the hourly billing rate being paid by FMIT. The last change in hourly rates was in October 2022. On October 2, 2023, the firm notified the County of a billing rate increase approved by Florida Municipal Insurance Trust (FMIT). The increase took effect on October 1, 2023. This amendment item revises the billing rates in the agreement by $5/hour for partners, associates, and paralegals to match the FMIT rates, retroactive to that date. PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: Approved the original agreement for legal services at the January 19, 2012 BOCC meeting. CONTRACT/AGREEMENT CHANGES: The raises the previously established hourly rates for partners, associates, and paralegals by $5, to $190/hour, $160/hour, and $100/hour, respectively. 5109 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

Gill Christopher Ambrosio Associates J. Marcos Martinez The work of paralegals shall be paid at the rate listed above, however paralegals are subject to change from time to time, therefore rather than be named individually they 3 5121 shall be listed on the invoice with the title"Paralegal" following their name. The work of paralegals shall not be duplicated by attorneys, duplicated work, if any, will be p a i d at the paralegal rate, rather than the attorney rate.

Monthly bills Unless otherwise agreed in a writing signed by the COUNTY, bills shall be issued monthly by ATTORNEY within fifteen (15) days after the close of each month.

Monroe County—EEO Claim); a description of the work performed in enough detail so that each item is distinguishable from other listed items and sufficient to allow COUNTY to determine the necessity for and reasonableness of the time expended, the services performed, the project or task each service relates to, the subject and purpose of each service, and the names of others who were present or communicated with in the course of performing the service. For example, simply the word "research" is not acceptable, more detail about the type of research and what was determined by the research is necessary. 7.2.2 Personnel Clearly identify each timekeeper performing services in conjunction with each entry. Clearly identify all persons who are not full-time lawyers employed by the ATTORNEY'S firm (including paralegals, employees of ATTORNEY with their titles, subcontractors, independent contractors, temporary employees, and outsourcing providers).

Travel expenses will be reimbursed for meals in accordance with Florida Statute 112.061.
