A copy of that resolution is attached. Resolution 91-554, adopted by the City Council on April 4, 1991 set a cap on legal fees that is referenced in Resolution 91-14 . A copy of that resolution is also attached. The City Attorney has now prepared a resolution, per the authorization of the above named resolutions, with the amounts identified for payment based on statements received from legal counsel for the two candidates and within the limits set forth in Resolution 91-554. It is necessary to identify a fund source for payment, and provide that documentation, either separately or incorporated into the attached resolution before introducing the resolution. Your assistance with this part of the process will be appreciated.

McCormick Deputy City Attorne RE: Legal Fees - Recount I sent you a previous memo dated July 2, 1991 (attached and incorporated by this reference) regarding a legal bill from the Roy Garza Volunteer Committee. Yesterday I received a bill from the law firm representing Bill Wilson in the same recount. At Mary Ann's suggestion I have combined these two requests for reimbursement to be considered by the Council in one Resolution. As I indicated in my previous memo, the Council has adopted a policy regarding the reimbursement of certain legal fees. The policy is silent as to how these matters are to get before the Council for consideration. Since these bills were originally sent to the City Attorney's Office, I have provided the draft language for your consideration. I have applied the hourly rate of $100 per hour which is the rate for legal services adopted by the Council in C.F. 91-554. The application of this rate to the bill filed by Popham, Haik for services rendered to Council President Wilson resulted in a reduction of the amount to be reviewed for payment by the Council. Popham Haik has sent a bill for 24.4 hours of legal services at an hourly rate of approximately $174.00 per hour ($4250 divided by 24.4) . Applying the Council's approved rate of $100 per hour would reduce the bill from $4250 to $2440. See the July 2, 1991 memo for explanation of changes in legal services bill for Roy Garza Volunteer Committee. - '^ `tTT o' �1 �./�/AI -�.- �t" : CITY OF SA.I P L a � + ���������,� �; OFFICE OF TI� CITY ATTORNEY a • "" JANE A.MC PFAKy CITY ATTORNEY 647 Gty Hall,Saint Paul,Minnesota 55102 612-298-SI?1 JAMFS SCHEIBEL Fnx 613-?98-56i� MAYOR July 2, 1991 , �; .

McCormick Deputy City Attorney - Civil Division RE: Legal Fees for Services Provided to the Roy Garza Volunteer Committee ' You sponsored Council File 91-14 Substitute establishing a policy regarding reimbursement of legal fees under circumstances where there is a claim that inaccuracies attributable to electronic voting necessitate a recount. That policy is silent as to how the individual bills for legal services are to come before the Council. for review. The City Attorney's Office has received a bill for such services from the above group to determine if the stated hourly rate complies with the reasonable legal fee schedule previously established by the Council. We now forward it to you for your introduction to the Council. You will note the City Attorney's Office limits the hourly rate to $100 per hour and pursuant to previous standards does not approve the costs associated with interest or costs incurred for previous attempts to collect these fees from the City. You will also note that the account for payment of these amounts has been left open. From previous communications you are aware that this is not a claim to be approved by the City Attorney's Office and it would be only through the Council's recent change in policy that payment of these monies can be processed and approved. From past practice these costs, if approved, would be paid by the division which is the subject of the legal action taken, which in this case would be the . City Clerk's Office or the City Council budget. Attached are copies of Council File No. 91-14 Substitute, Council File No. 91-554 regarding legal fees, and the proposed resolution for your introduction and the Council's consideration.
