Re: 2007 Retainer Agreement
Dear Supervisor Russell and Town Board Members:
This letter confirms that I will serve as special counsel to the Town of Southold in
certain matters related to the Town's land preservation program. I will provide
legal advice to Melissa Spiro and her Department and the Town Attorney,
prepare and negotiate agreements for the purchase of fee interests and
development rights, attend closings, and perform any needed legal research
related to these duties. My work will focus on the farmland preservation
program. I will also be available, as necessary, to assist in any other matters
related to the Town's land preservation program.
My time from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007 will be billed at a
municipal rate of $195.00 per hour. Time for paralegals will be billed at $90.00.
Other additional expenses will include travel time, long distance telephone calls,
telecopies, photocopying, and printing fees. We have worked closely with
Melissa Spiro and Melanie Doroski to keep legal expenses on these matters at a
reasonable level, with continued emphasis on efficiency and coordination. We
will continue these efforts.
I have enjoyed representing the Town in this very important work. If you have
any questions on our past work or as we move forward, please feel free to call
me anytime.
