RE: Contract for consulting services on legislative issues pertaining to the City's water supplies and
service from January 15, 2005 to December 31, 2005
Dear Ms. Burgess:
We are excited to have the opportunity to assist and advise the City of Lubbock and its legislative
advisors on issues pertaining to the City's water supplies and service during the upcoming 79`'
Legislative Session.
We look forward to working with City officials, staff, and other consultants on: i) the City's
legislative initiatives pertaining to water; ii) monitoring, analyzing, and drafting legislation that
impacts those initiatives; and iii) advising the City regarding the strategies and positions that it might
pursue.
We intend to keep representatives and officials designated by the City informed of important
legislative activity as it occurs and to provide them with weekly overviews of pertinent legislative
activity.
The City of Lubbock is fortunate to be represented by Senator Robert Duncan, who has played in
important role in Texas' water policy over the past few years. We will work closely with the Senator
Duncan and the City of Lubbock's House delegation to further the City's interests.
For services rendered from January 15 to December 31, 2005 (the "Agreement Period"), our fee will
be $25,000, plus expenses. Such fee will be paid as follows: 1) $3,000 payable on or before January
20, 2005; and 2) beginning on February 1, 2005, $2,000 a month payable on or before the first day of
such month. Non -travel expenses should not exceed $500 for the Agreement Period without further
authorization from the City.
Please contact me directly at 512-431-6515 with any questions.
Sincerely,
Signed this
