I have been contacted by the Round Rock City Attorney, Mr.
Stephen L. Sheets, in regard to assisting him as co- counsel for
The City of Round Rock in the subject lawsuit, which is
presently set for jury trial beginning on June 19, 1989. I
have the highest regard for both The City of Round Rock and
Mr. Sheets, and would welcome the opportunity of assisting
Mr. Sheets in representing your interests in the subject
lawsuit.
At Mr. Sheets' request, I am submitting this letter setting
out the fee agreement by which I propose to represent The City
of Round Rock in the subject lawsuit as co- counsel with your
City Attorney, Mr. Stephen L. Sheets. The proposed fee agreement,
which I discussed briefly with Mr. Sheets earlier this week,
is as follows:
1. The City of Round Rock ("City") will be billed at
the rate of $150.00 per hour for all work performed;
2. I will be reimbursed for any and all expenses incurred
as a result of my representation of the City,
specifically including, but not limited to, any

reporter fees and all transcript costs. Expenses
will normally be billed monthly as they accrue;
however, I reserve the right to submit billings
and /or invoices for expenses (E.g., court reporter
reporter fees) directly to the City for payment;
