Commission of the City of Clearwater that a Lobbyist can provide this type of
service, which is needed by the City.

also perform the same function as it relates to activities of
the Pinellas County Delegation including attending meetings
conducted by such Delegation.
2. The Lobbyist will further monitor, participate in and report on
meetings conducted by State administrative and regulatory
bodies where the City makes a request.
3. The City agrees to compensate the Lobbyist for performing the
servi ces outl i ned in paragraphs one (1) and two (2) on an
annual retainer basis. Such annual retainer shall be at the
rate of $13,122.38 per year.
