Light <br />Kelly <br />Ai 1 oriie's at. Law <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Board of Commissioners <br />Louisville Revitalization Commission <br />Malcolm Fleming, City Manager <br />City of Louisv = e <br />FROM: Samuel J. Light h <br />DATE: December 8, 2016 <br />SUBJECT: Fees for LRC Legal Services <br />Samuel J. Light <br />(303) 298-1601 tel <br />(303) 298-1627 fax <br />slight(aIlightkelly. com <br />Based upon the firm's general review of its fees, services, and costs, we find it necessary to increase <br />our rates for legal services to the LRC effective January 1, 2017. We last increased our fees for LRC <br />services on January 1, 2013. While cost-effective service is a primary goal of our firm, we must also <br />consider the ongoing increase in our own costs of doing business. <br />Attached is a copy of the LRC's current Appendix A - Fee Schedule, which shows in blackline our <br />proposed 2017 rates. Our proposal would effect a $25/hour increase in partner rates and $15/hour <br />increase in associate rates, and would make our rates for the LRC work match our rates for City <br />work, effective 2017. (The LRC's current rates are $10/hour less than the City's current rates <br />because we did not make an LRC adjustment in 2015). We will commit to these rates for two years. <br />In addition to the proposed changes to our fee schedule, we propose updating our contract for <br />services so it is a current, complete document that reflects the firm's current name. A complete copy <br />of the proposed updated contract is enclosed. It includes no substantive changes other than updating <br />names, dates and rates. If this proposal meets with your approval, we will forward to the City <br />Manager two executed originals for LRC signature. <br />We will continue to work with the LRC to identify and implement methods for managing legal <br />services and fees. We appreciate the opportunity to serve the LRC and thank you for your <br />consideration of this proposal. <br />If you have any questions or concerns, or care to discuss this matter, please contact me. <br />Light 1 Kelly, P.C. <br />101 University Boulevard, Suite 210, Denver, CO 80206 <br />www.lightkelly.com <br />
