Jean Thomas, Chairperson <br /> Board of Selectmen /PO � - <br /> Ton of Mape .� <br /> P.O. Box 1108 <br /> < <br /> Mashpee, Massachusetts 049 - w= <br /> �.a <br /> Dear Mrs. Thomas <br /> As you are aware, this firm' s current willing rate for the Town of <br /> ashpee is seventy Dollars $7 per hour. while this rate is sub- <br /> stantially lower than the billing rate for comparable work and effort in <br /> the private sector, like many other. firm's, a reduced rate for the public <br /> sector has been our practice. <br /> Our billing rate has remained at $70 per hour for quite some time, <br /> even though we, ourselves, have experienced severe inflationary pressures <br /> and huge increases. in such office expenses as rent, utilities, insurance, <br /> clerical, and the various other overhead costs attached to maintaining a <br /> first-rate labor law practice. It has now reached . point where, in <br /> order to continue the high level o.1 professional services which you <br /> require and should expect, we can no longer realistically maintain the <br /> $7o per hour rate. Therefore, in order net to sacrifice the duality of <br /> our services, effective for all work performed on and after January 1 , <br /> 1983 , our rate will be increased to Eighty Dollars per hour. <br /> We recognize the various budgetary restrictions under which you <br /> operate, and we have deferred this nate increase as long as we possibly <br /> could. We hope that you appreciate and understand the necessity for <br /> this modest increase and look forward to continuing our relationship and <br /> providing you with the highest level of professional services, as we <br /> have done in the past. <br /> Ver truly ours <br /> Mi ael C.
