Dear sie:
Th ity of Clearwater has grown to the point where it should have a person
skilled in lobbying activities to protect its interest before the State Legislature,
with the Pinellas County Delegation, and in monitoring the activities of other
State administrative and regulatory bodies. Further it is the belief of the City
Commission of the City of Clearwater that a Lobbyist can provide this type of
service, which is needed by the City.
(1) It is the City's belief that a Lobbyist shall provide monitoring and
lobbying activities with respect to legislation presented to the
State Legislature in which the City has a specific interest or
which might affect the City as a Florida municipality. Lobbyist
will also perform the same function as it relates to activities of
the Pinellas County Delegation including attending meetings
conducted by such Delegation.
(2) Lobbyist will further monitor, participate in and report on
meetings conducted by State administrative and regulatory bodies
where City makes a request.
(3) The City agrees to compensate Lobbyist for performing the
services outlined in paragraphs one (1) and two (2) on an annual
retainer basis. Such annual retainer shall be at the rate of
$12,167.46 per year.
In addition to such annual retainer, Lobbyist shall be entitled to be reimbursed
for expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred in providing services, such as
cost for travel, lodging and meals directly related thereto, and long distance

telephone calls undertaken in the performance of service as Lobbyist. Said
reimbursement shall be rendered upon receipt by City of Clearwater of
documentation evidencing expenses incurred. Where possible, Lobbyist agrees
to prorate such expenses where mutually beneficial to the City of Clearwater
and the City of St. Petersburg. Such reasonable and necessary expenses shall
not include overhead expenses such as secretarial assistance and office rent.
(4) The City specifically reserves the right to utilize the services of
Lobbyist in litigation matters; however, should such
representation be necessary, then it will be handled under a
separate agreement and separate compensation.
(5) The Lobbyist shall report directly to the City Manager or his
desi~ee in performing the services outlined above in paragraphs
one (1) and two (2).
If this letter of Agreement is acceptable to you, please sign below and return to
my office. I look forward to a productive relationship in the upcoming year.
Very truly your.
