Re: 201:~ Retainer Agreement
Dear Supervisor Russell and Town Board Nembers:
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 continue to provide legal advice to Melissa Spiro and her Department,
prepare and negotiate agreements for the purchase of development rights,
including contracts and conservation easements, attend closings, and perform
any needed legal research related to these duties. Ny work will continue to
focus on the farmland preservation program, including revisions to the grant of
development rights easement and to advise Melissa, the Town Board and the
Land Preservation Committee regarding policy issues.
My time from January 2013 through December 31, 2013 will be billed at a
municipal rate of 210.00 per hour, the same rate as 2012. Time for the
paralegals will be billed at $100.00. In addition, you will be billed for such out-
of-pocket expenses the firm may incur in providing services to you. Such
expenses include, but are not limited to, charges for courier or messenger
services, photocopies, telephone calls, and postage. Our office will send
invoices on a monthly basis. 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.
Please confirm your agreement to this retainer by signing and returning
the enclosed copy of this letter to us. ! look forward to working with you and
