Re: City of Okeechobee; Revisions to Comprehensive Plan
Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water and
Natural Groundwater Recharge Element
Dear John:
The purpose of this letter is to provide the City of
Okeechobee with an estimate (not a guarantee or fee cap) of the
cost of legal services for participating as a member of an
interdisciplinary consulting team consisting of you, the City' s
engineers and myself to consider revisions to the above-referenced
element of the City' s comprehensive plan.
I estimate that, consistent with the hourly rates and other
details concerning expenses and billings quoted in my August 14,
1991 letter to the City, this project could be completed for
approximately $2 , 000 - $2 ,500 . My services would include meeting
with you and the City' s engineers, briefing the team on current
Department of Community Affair' s policy and proposed rule revisions
concerning water and sewer matters, reviewing the engineers '
proposed revisions to the data and analysis and other support
documents, reviewing other comparable municipality water and sewer
elements, and drafting for the City Council ' s consideration
recommendations and proposed revisions to the element' s existing
goals, objectives and policies which may follow from the revisions
to the data and analysis.
My estimate of services for this project does not include
litigation or representing the City in plan amendment transmission
and review proceedings concerning any amendments to the element
which the Council decides to adopt. I would be more than willing,
however, to provide such services to the City in a manner similar
to the way in which I provided such services for transmission,
review and adoption of the recent remedial plan amendments to the
City' s originally adopted comprehensive plan.
Now-
