MEMORANDUM C11*Y t;Lteii:i
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO
VIA E-MAIL
TO: Karen P. Brust, City Manager
FROM: Omar Sandoval, City Attorney
DATE: August 19, 2011
RE: Legal Fees for Fiscal Year 2011-2012
Pursuant to our Firm's contract with the City of San Juan Capistrano, our fees are
adjusted each July 1st pursuant to the consumer price index for the period between June Ist
through May 30th (per Resolution No. 05-09-20-03). This year, the adjustment is 3.7%. That
means that our hourly fees would be adjusted to $204 for attorneys and $114 for paralegals.
We are sensitive to the fiscal pressures caused by the down economy and we want to
partner with the City in helping to respond to these pressures. In this regard, we will waive the
increase in our fees mentioned above, which will remain $197 for attorneys and $110 for
paralegals for Fiscal Year 2011-2012,
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns,
