Knowing your reluctance to go to a part-time attorney position, I should reiterate that I believe that the City legal functions can be quite satisfactorily performed on this basis, and should save the City at least $10,000 per year~ Harold A. Irish City Attorney CITY OF UKIAH MEMORANDUM SUBJECT-- STATUS CHANGE FOR CITY ATTORNEY I have been invited to join a private law firm in this City as a full partner; however, since I would not desire to terminate my relationship with the City, I propose that you consider recommending to the City Council that my office be made part-time.

I propose that a one-year contract, automatically renewable if not cancelled, be considered by the Council. Such contract would contain substantially the following terms and conditions: · Salary fixed at $10,000 per year, plus the following items: Code 22 NIML0 dues $~0 Code 2~ Travel 400 Code 32 Telephone 40 Code 41 Equp.
