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, 2008 through December 31, 2008 will be billed at a
municipal rate of $195.00 per hour. Attorney Cindy Tzerman, who assists me on
certain research matters as needed, will be billed at $175.00 per hour. Time for

Our office will send invoices on a monthly basis. We have worked closely with

will continue these efforts.
I have enjoyed representing the Town in this very important work. If you have
