Re:

Village Attorney; Engagement Letter for 2015/2016 Fiscal Year

Dear Mayor Wray:
This letter presents proposed terms for my engagement with the Village of Sleepy Hollow,
New York, as Village Attorney over the Village's official year commencing April 6,2015. General
Retainer work as set forth below would be done under an annual retainer of $91,000.00; special
project and litigation work requested by the Village as set forth below would be done at $225.00 per
hour; and Land Use Applications work requested by the Village as set forth below would be covered
by the annual retainer for the first 2 hours of work on an application and then charged at my usual,
non-discounted hourly rate for the balance of work on that application. My engagement would be
that of an independent contractor rather than a Village official, officer, or employee, and as an
independent contractor, the Village would not be charged with any retirement contribution or
medical or other benefits for me.
General Retainer
For general municipal services, I will provide advice and counseling on the full range of
municipal issues that arise from time to time for the fixed annual charge of $91,000.00 paid in equal
monthly installments billed prospectively the first of each month. Among other things, the retainer
will continue to cover regular attendance at Village Board of Trustees meetings, consultation, advice,
and opinions on questions presented by Village officials, review and preparation as necessary of
Village Board resolutions and actions, preparation of routine legislation, coordination with other
attorneys providing legal services to the Village and oversight of those attorneys as necessary, review
and preparation for contracts in the ordinary course, and the like.
{00608249.DOC.2}

�Special Projects &amp; Litigation
For Special Projects and Litigation, on which the Village requests work, I will charge on a
straight hourly basis at the rate of $225.00 per hour, and we will bill at the first of each month for
work done the prior month. Litigation will consist of any matter that is commenced by a formal
court or arbitration paper, such as a summons, complaint, petition for review, or notice of claim. In
contrast, general advice on possible litigation prior to commencement of a proceeding or receipt of a
notice of claim will fall under the general municipal retainer.
Special projects will consist of major Village endeavors which are not typically done. The
category would include matters like land acquisition, disposition, or development, broad-scale update
or revision of the Village Code or Comprehensive Development Plan, development of complex
legislation, and the like, but as set forth above, advice to officials, standard contract preparation and
review, and drafting of more typical legislation would be general retainer work. Considering that
some Special Project work may be tough to categorize in advance, we leave the final decision on
what is or is not a Special Project up to the Village.
Land Use Applications
For any Land Use Application by or before the Board of Trustees, Planning Board, and
Zoning Board of Appeals on which the Village requests work, the first 2 hours of work will be
covered under the annual retainer, but thereafter I will charge for work on that application on a
straight hourly basis at my standard, non-discounted attorney rate, which currently is $440.00 per
hour. In each instance, too, we will bill at the first of each month for work done in the prior month.
The Village has authority to require land use applicants to reimburse the Village's legal fees
under New York State General Municipal Law §10, New York State Village Law §7-712 and
§7-730, and Village Code §200-4 to the extent that the fees are reasonable and necessary and
incurred in connection with the Village's inspection and review of the applicants' projects. Thus,
advice to a Board and review of an applicant's documents and submissions for compliance with law
or approval requirements will be reimbursable and billed at full rates. Conversely, advice to a Board
on a question of Board or Village liability, unique voting requirements or procedures, or the like
which may be requested in connection with a Board's review of a project but is not necessary for that
review itself would not be reimbursable but would fall under our General Retainer work. Similarly,
negotiation or preparation of documents to implement agreements or obligations assumed after
approval and any enforcement or Article 78 review proceeding would not be part of the Village's
inspection and review of a project, so that work would not be reimbursable but depending on the sort
of work would fall into the General Retainer category and would not generate any additional charge
or the Special Projects and Litigation category and would be charged at the reduced rate.

�I hope the Trustees and you will find these terms satisfactory. I am looking forward to
working with you and the rest of the Village's personnel and populace.
