RE: Fee Agreement for 84th Legislative Session, Special Sessions, and Interim
State Legislative Activities
Dear Ms. Hadley and Mr. Sheets,
We would like to propose the following agreement for our professional lobbying services
for the City of Round Rock.
This letter outlines the services proposed to be provided to the City of Round Rock, a
Municipal Corporation ("CITY") by Randy Cain, Attorney at Law, and Julianne
Acevedo, Consultant ("CONSULTANTS").
Agreement for Legislative Support Services
CONSULTANTS will assist CITY in its state governmental relations by conducting all
necessary research, information gathering, contacts and any other supporting activities
relating to CITY's state legislative interests. As requested by CITY, CONSULTANTS
will continue to monitor current interim activities and hearings, and will review, analyze
and monitor the 84th Legislative Session convening January 2015, along with any special
sessions, and interim state legislative activities that follow. CONSULTANTS will
perform these services as requested by the City Attorney (or designee).
Fee
For the performance of these services, CITY agrees to pay Randy Cain the amount of
$6,000.00 per month for the initial term of the agreement. For the performance of
services, the CITY agrees to pay Julianne Acevedo the amount of $2,500.00 per month
for the initial term of the agreement. The total amount of compensation shall be
$102,000.00 per year of the initial term.
Expenses
In addition to the above fee, CITY will, on written request from CONSULTANTS
supported by receipts or other adequate details, reimburse CONSULTANTS for
reasonable expenses, such as travel, long-distance telephone and courier charges,
reasonably incurred in providing services under this agreement. The CITY must approve
all travel expenses in advance.
Term
The initial term of this agreement will be from November 1, 2014 to October 31, 2016.
CITY or CONSULTANTS may terminate the agreement on thirty days written notice.
Second Term
The second term of this agreement will be from November 1, 2016 to October 31, 2018.
For the performance of these services, the CITY agrees to pay Randy Cain the amount of
$6,000.00 per month and Julianne Acevedo the amount of $2,500.00 per month for the
second term of the agreement. The total compensation for the second term shall be
$102,000.00 per year, and shall include the 85`h Legislative Session.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide this proposal. If agreeable to the CITY, please
approve below.
Very truly yours,
T-2-� C'.
