Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard is today's program of choice for sophisticated graphics and desktop publishing needs and can be purchased on the Internet for approximately $1,000.00. Storage Unit --Rent: 07-0462-15-00 Justification and/or Notes: The decrease in this line item is due to the fact that artifacts in storage will most likely not be moved into a climate -controlled facility this year and the costs for Eagle Mini Storage were lower than expected. Office Supplies: 07-0462-31-00 Justification and/or Notes: Increase is based on average FY 2009/2010 monthly expenses to date.

I would still like to be able to begin that purchase program with two rolls of microfilm ($44.00 ea) from the Idaho State Historical Society and will need the remaining $112 to run off copies of property deeds and/or transfers for the Eagle Historic Site Register project. 0.00 200 00 100% Utilities: 07-0462-52-00 3,500.00 Museum Programs: 07-0462-68-00 Justification and/or Notes: 2009/2010 expenses lower than exptected; this decrease assumes they will also remain low in FY 2010/2011. Miscellaneous: 07-0462-69-00 Justification and/or Notes: 2009/2010 expenses higher than expected; this increase allows for a similar increase in costs this year. EXHIBITS: Display Supplies: 07-0463-01-00 Justification and/or Notes: Display costs are fairly consistent and ongoing when providing both a continuous cycle of new displays and the regular updating of those that are permanent. If forced to cut these costs, the quality of displays automatically suffers. The amount budgeted here reflects the Curator's anticipated costs for four new displays and the ongoing maintenance of permanent displays in FY 2010/2011. 300.00 3,500.00 0% 100.00 -66% 0.00 200.00 100% 800.00 1,200 00 Exhibit Construction: 07-0463-03-00 0.00 Justification and/or Notes: Certain exhibit design elements fall outside the Curator's expertise and/or capability to execute them. When this happens, a small amount of funding is required to contract the work out. Given the current budget restraints, the Curator hopes to keep these charges to an absolute minimum, but would still like to set aside this small amount to cover currently anticipated contract work.

BANNOCK STREET, SUITE 520; BOISE, ID 83702 TELEPHONE: (208) 331-1800 FAX: (208) 331-1202 www.msbtlaw.com June 15, 2010 The Honorable Michael C. Huffaker, Acting Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Eagle P.O. Box 1520 660 E. Civic Lane Eagle, ID 83616 Re: Legal Services Budget Presentation Dear Mayor and Members of the Council: JOHN J. MCFADDEN*tOf Counsel MICHAEL C. MOORE* of Counsel Also admitted in California Also admitted in New Mexico * Also admitted in Oregon ° Also admitted in South Dakota Also admitted in Utah I Also admitted in Washington We are pleased to submit this description of the Legal Services we provide to the City of Eagle in both the civil and a proposal for criminal misdemeanor services. Members of this firm have represented the City of Eagle since January, 1987. We established the firm on December 1, 1993 with the goal of serving our Idaho municipal clients with high quality legal services focusing on general local government matters and municipal finance. We believe having legal counsel with municipal bond and finance expertise would be beneficial in light of the legal issues Eagle has and will face in the future. As you know, our firm offers attorneys familiar with local, state, and federal laws; specifically in the planning and zoning, criminal, employment, public utilities, municipal airports, water, contracts, environment, municipal bonds, public finance and public transportation arenas. MSB&T also serves as general and special counsel for numerous cities, counties, state agencies, irrigation districts and companies, fire and ambulance districts, recreation districts, sewer districts, and water districts in the following areas of municipal and local government law: • General Municipal Civil Law: Municipal law requires knowledge of a myriad of practice areas including those more specifically addressed below, and many other legal issues including, open meeting and public records laws, public works contracting, bidding, municipal bonds, nuisance, code enforcement, election, residency, employment, land use, leasing, property, public utilities franchising, electricity, water and cable services, eviction, foreclosure, trespass, bankruptcy and torts. June 15, 2010 Page 2 • Planning and Zoning Law: Many people believe municipal planning and zoning issues are the same as county planning and zoning issues. This mistake often leaves many municipal concerns unanswered. Our planning and zoning experience ranges from litigation to review of land use applications. We have helped prepare comprehensive plans, subdivision and zoning ordinances, planned unit development ordinances, tree ordinances, nuisance ordinances, design and review ordinances, nudity ordinances, parade ordinances, development plans, development and annexation agreements, planned unit developments, conditional use permits, variances, conditions of approval for land uses, sign ordinances, parking ordinances and landscape ordinances. Planning and zoning is of paramount concern to a city experiencing the types of land use pressures confronting Eagle both in times of growth and recession. We have experienced both cycles. • Criminal Law: Our firm is perhaps in the best position to effectively and efficiently represent the City in its criminal caseload. As general counsel for the City, we have a personal and professional "stake" in resolving the City's cases in the most efficient and effective manner possible. We do not prosecute other jurisdiction's cases in tandem with the City's cases, but rather take a particular interest in the resolution of the City's cases on a day to day basis. As the City Prosecutor, we will be able to provide timely reports and information concerning the criminal caseload at city council meetings. While prosecution for cities is expensive, we believe that we can help curb costs by prosecuting cases under new Eagle City ordinances instead of state statutes. The City does not receive any pecuniary benefit from prosecuting pursuant to state statutes. (Utilizing city codes enables the City to receive a portion of the fines and fees ordered by the Court, instead of that money going to the State). This will be invaluable to the City as it faces budget restrictions. We are also more familiar with distinctly "municipal" type criminal offenses including code enforcement, nuisance, and other such criminal provisions. Our firm offers the City of Eagle both attorneys and staff familiar with local and state criminal laws and procedure. We have experience in all aspects of criminal litigation and have successfully adjudicated matters including traffic infractions, DUIs, juvenile charges, domestic batteries, petit theft and injury to property offenses. We have worked with peace officers, city staff, victims and witnesses. Many of our attorneys have experience in negotiations with defendants and defense attorneys, as well as pre- trial hearings, and bench and jury trials. Attorneys at MSB&T have served as prosecutors for various governmental entities throughout Idaho, including small cities such as Stanley, Middleton, Horseshoe Bend, Arco, and Challis, and more populous counties and cities such as the City of Boise and Ada, Bonner, and Twin Falls Counties. • Annexation Law: We have provided extensive counsel on annexation to Eagle and several other cities under routine and complex scenarios. Prior to their passage, our firm reviewed and analyzed Idaho statutes on annexation on behalf of the Association June 15, 2010 Page 3 of Idaho Cities. We have prevailed in a challenge to annexation on behalf of a city, in which we were able to secure an award of attorney fees for the client. • Public Works Construction, Bidding and Litigation: The firm has significant experience with public works construction, bidding, contracting, claims and litigation. Public funding, emanating from grants and loans from state, federal and private sources are integral to the financing of many projects. We have worked with various funding entities and with their respective audit and progress reporting requirements. Our firm has been and is currently involved in several construction projects ranging from administration buildings, water and sewer facilities, to parks. We also currently serve as bond counsel to the City of Eagle. Having bond counsel experience helps streamline public works construction financing without having to hire outside bond counsel in most cases. • Condemnation/Real Estate/Property Acquisition Law: Several of our city clients have been and are currently involved in various aspects of the condemnation process, including negotiations and litigation. We have also assisted in the acquisition of critical parcels of real estate for our public clients through options to purchase and other real estate transactions that benefit cities without having to engage in condemnation. • Employment Law: We have provided legal counsel on many aspects of employment law as applied to local government entities in Idaho, including: wage and hour, employee benefits, sexual harassment, privacy, unemployment, Human Rights Commission, EEOC, Fair Labor Standards Act, Workman's Compensation, drafting and enforcing personnel policies and manuals, evaluations, hiring, discipline, termination, and policies for promotions and demotions. To the extent the City's insurance carrier needs assistance or will not undertake the defense of workers compensation or civil rights claims, our firm has experience in these areas as well. • Administrative Law and Conflict Resolution: The firm's attorneys have extensive experience with both state and federal rulemaking, appeals and hearings. We also have experience as appointed hearing officers for the Idaho Bureau of Occupational Licenses and the Department of Health and Welfare, and as mediators on land use matters. We routinely utilize mediation and other procedures to avoid litigation costs wherever feasible and consistent with our clients' direction. • Environmental Law: The firm maintains a significant practice in environmental and natural resource law involving various federal and state statutes such as water rights, environmental permitting, and the Clean Water Act. Several of these statutes are applicable in typical municipal matters such as drainage and water and sewer facilities. Every city and most sewer and water districts we represent have gone June 15, 2010 Page 4 through or are going through facility planning and permitting and are seeking financing through bonds, grants and loans for such projects with state and federal agencies. We deal frequently on matters involving public lands and natural resources, having appeared on behalf of various clients in more than a dozen federal District Courts from Washington, D.C. to Guam, federal Circuit Courts and the United States Supreme Court. In addition, we have taught graduate level environmental law courses for the University of Idaho and Idaho State University. • Available Staff: MSB&T has four principal shareholders, three associate attorneys, and one "Of Counsel" attorney: Stephanie J.

With Ms. Buxton as the lead attorney for Eagle, Ms. Bonney is on call. Paul J. Fitzer and Loren W. Anderson would be assigned to the City for criminal prosecution and general counsel matters and Bruce M. Smith and Carl J. Withroe assigned for water rights/environmental matters. Biographies of all our other attorneys are attached hereto. Equipment — MSB&T uses broadband services to insure quick electronic mail response to city staff, the mayor and council (as allowed by the city's personnel manual and the public records requirements). The firm also utilizes fax machines, video conferencing, voice mail and a daily courier service (as necessary) to ensure prompt, cost effective response to the City. Each attorney has a cellular telephone with email capability so the City representatives can contact legal counsel as necessary and to avoid unnecessary delays in communications. Ability to Provide Responsive Services — It is MSB&T policy to return a call within the same day. If the call is received at the end of the day, a return call can be expected the next business day barring some unforeseen circumstances. Our attorneys are available to attend night meetings on a regular basis and available on other nights and weekends as needed. MSB&T prioritizes the work requested to minimize client costs. With the assignment of attorneys as described in the Available Staff section above, this provides quick response and efficiency in prioritizing work requested by the client. Cost for Services — As general civil counsel to Eagle, the current civil contract would remain unchanged from the 2007 agreement. That 2007 agreement included a basic retainer fee payable by the City to Attorneys of three thousand five hundred dollars ($3,500) per month, plus any actual, documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Attorneys on behalf of the City, including but not limited to, long-distance telephone charges, copying expenses, and travel, payable in the month following the performance of the services rendered by Attorneys. Attorneys bill the City for payment of the basic retainer fee and expenses in the manner provided herein. For the basic retainer fee, Attorneys provide thirty (30) hours to the city per month including attending regular or special meetings of the City Council, regular or special meetings of the Planning and Zoning Commission, office hours at City Hall and other legal June 15, 2010 Page 6 services requested by the City. Thereafter, Attorneys are compensated for civil matters at the hourly rate of $190.00 for Shareholders; $165.00 for senior associates; $150.00 for associates and $55.00 for legal assistants; and the regular hourly rate for the attorneys of the firm as may be assigned to the matter. These hourly rates may be amended from time to time by resolution of the City. Attorneys shall submit a monthly bill for services, including any reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Attorneys on behalf of the City. MSB&T proposes to undertake the work as the criminal city attorney to the City of Eagle. MSB&T would bill the City as a general billing matter for the annual rate of $48,500.00 per year. Proactive Practices — MSBT prefers to have involvement as soon as possible when matters arise that may lead to litigation. In most instances, litigation is avoided when the matter is dealt with in its early stages. We suggest regular contact with the Mayor, City Council, City Clerk/Treasurer and department heads in order to be informed of current situations so such matters can be identified sooner than later. We conduct office hours at the City Hall as the budget allows. Firm Rating — Our Firm's Martindale Hubble rating is AV.

Dear Mayor and Council Members, I would like to begin by thanking you for the faith and confidence that you displayed in our company last fall. Tal and I are very humbled by the support we received from the majority of council members and several past city leaders. As we enter into the last phase of our contract for the current fiscal year we are again at a crossroads with regards to the landscape maintenance services. When Councilman Semanko requested us to make the current presentation I thought to myself ...how can I supply the council with the information necessary to make a well informed decision? I've decided to revisit some of the items I discussed in the letter I wrote to the council late last summer. Is it really the time to expand city government? Is it the right path to follow just because it's what other cities do? Can city employees perform the work to the standards that the City of Eagle has become accustom to for less than a private contractor? I will leave this burden of proof to the Public Works Director. I'm sure he will be more prepared to address his budget and his plan to develop a parks maintenance division in a detailed and complete manner this time. After this is done then the city leadership can fairly compare this option to the private contractor option. Below are the top reasons Tal and I believe that the private contractor option should be on the budget table. QUALITY & VALUE We believe that "apples to apples" and "dollar to dollar" the quality and value from a private contractor is superior. Our belief is based upon our research and observations over the years. We contribute this to the presence of competition within the private landscape service industry. As business owners we are keenly aware that if we don't perform our work at a good value and to the highest quality standards that our customers will replace us with a company that will. SMALL BUSINESSES / PRIVATE CONTRACTOR I found this information contained in the 2009 The Small Business Economy Report that was presented to the President of the United States by the Small Business Administration (SBA). The service sector has suffered severe job losses—a sharp contrast from previous years. Service sector employment had grown over the decade, especially in three private sector industries—education and health services. leisure and hospitality. and professional and business services. Each experienced double-digit growth over the previous five years (2003 to 2008) and 10 years (1998 to 2003). Over the past year. as the recession began to take its toll. only two service sector industries—education and health services, and government—gained employment: most of the rest saw declines. Small firms make important contributions to the economy through innovations and the creation of jobs. enterprises. and entire new industries. In sum. small firms struggled mightily in the recessionary economy of 2008—and if the past is an indication, they will likely help lead the economic recovery. EXPERIENCE Experience is something that has value in business and every walk of life. We all know that is paves the way for better decisions in the future. Our business philosophy in regards to daily operations is to improve our methods and business practices to produce more efficient ways to perform our services. This is especially necessary in these turbulent economic times. We believe this is the key to making the most out of the City of Eagle's current landscape maintenance budget. Our experience performing the landscape maintenance services over the years will help us in consulting the city leaders to identify and prioritize those items deemed essential during the next fiscal year. In the following pages you will find a brief description and photos from all the city properties that we currently maintain and a few that we don't. The landscaping before photos were taken on September 23, 2009 (unless noted otherwise). This was one week before we started the restoration process. Previous to those photos being taken we were only performing the mowing services for the city and that service was cut to be performed twice in August and not at all in September. The after or current landscape photos were taken on June 10, 2010 (unless noted otherwise). This particular method was chosen to show the current condition of the City of Eagle's properties on a given day. Tal and I would like to express our sincere appreciation for all the time and effort you have given us over the past year. We look forward to helping you make a well informed decision regarding the landscape maintenance services for the City of Eagle. Please contact us if you would like to schedule another tour. As we draw to the close of our current contract and the fiscal year I encourage you to consider continuing the private contractor option as a viable way to provide top quality landscape maintenance services to the city owned properties even within the current budget constraints. We look forward to working with the council and public works director in the RFP portion of this process. Thank you.
