EIGHTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Staff Reports
Mr. Burgess:  Moving down to staff reports, Ginger, do you have anything?

Attorney – Consideration of Request for Adjustment to District Counsel Fee Structure
Ms. Wald: Yes, you have in your package correspondence from our office, by the way we officially changed our name from that very long name to just Billing, Cochran, it makes it a lot easier to say. So, from the prior increase that we did for our hourly rates, we reviewed this and so the last time we had looked at this and increase our hourly rates was back in October, 2023, and it goes to your budget season for the next fiscal year which begins October 1, 2027. We went ahead and provided this letter to District management so that could take it into consideration when preparing your proposed budget that you just passed. The increase that we’re requesting is based within the CPI for this 3 year period time, it is an increase of $25 per hour for a partner and $25 per hour for associates. It currently is $275 and $225 increasing to $300 and
$250. After review with the District management as to your proposed budget as you just passed it with the same amount, we didn’t have for this District any type of increase that would be necessary for the full amount on the budget, and so this would not go into effect until October 1, of this year for your next budget season and we’re making that request, and I will answer any questions that you may have.
Mr. Castillo: No questions, you guys requesting $25 over a three year period, that’s more than reasonable, no questions.
Ms. Wald: Thank you.

On MOTION by Mr. Castillo seconded by Mr. Westbrook with all in favor, accepting the request for adjustment to District Counsel fee structure was approved.

Engineer
Mr. Burgess: There’s no engineer today.
