RE: Representation Agreement between Hance Scarborough and the City of Lubbock.
Dear Ms. Dumbauld:
Please take this correspondence as our firm's proposal for our continued representation of the
City of Lubbock before the Texas Legislature.
Our firm will provide the City of Lubbock with consultation and lobby representation beginning
January 1, 2011 and terminating December 31, 2012. This time period encompasses
representation before the Texas Legislature during the 82nd Legislative Session and during the
Interim period, as well as for other projects as directed by the Mayor and Council.
The City of Lubbock would agree to pay our firm as follows:
January 1, 2011 thru June 30, 2011, a fee of $12,500 per month; and
July 1, 2011 thru December 31, 2012, a fee of $5000 per month.
In the event a Special Session of the Texas Legislature is called by the Governor during the
interim period discussed above, and in the event issues are included in the Governor's Call that
directly impact the interests of the City thereby requiring a more active effort by our firm, the
Session fee of $12,500 will be applied.
You additionally agree to reimburse our firm for any out-of-pocket expenses customarily
incurred by the firm in regards to the firm's representation. Unlike most firms, our firm does not
charge for telephone toll charges (including facsimile charges), copy expenses (unless the copy
project is too large for our staff and therefore must be sent off site) and secretary/assistant time.
Travel and other third party expenses will be billed to you at cost. We will advise you and obtain
your authorization for any extraordinary expenses prior to incurring same.
The City of Lubbock expressly acknowledges that our firm has made no representation or
guarantees as to the outcome or resolution of any matters regarding the purpose of this
agreement.
