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, part~c~pate in and report on meetings
conducted by State administrative and regulatory bodies where City
makes a request.

year.
In addition to such annual retainer, Lobbyist shall be entitled to be reim-

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.

Lobbyist in litigation matters; however, should such representation
be necessary, then it will be handled under a separate agreement and
separate compensation.
