FROM: Raymond E. Ott, Interim City Attorney
SUBJECT: Offer to Serve as Regular City Attorney
Now that the City has been successfully inaugurated and has
passed its initial 2? months of official existence, I wish to
take this opportunity to offer my services as your regular City
Attorney. I propose that I be hired as a part-time employee,
upon terms and conditions as follows, which are exactly the
same relatively) as my present time employment as City
Attorney for the City of Cathedral City:
i. Hours: I anticipate the services required of me would
entail approximately 41-time or ten hours per week.
This would involve attendance at all Council
meetings and regular study sessions, and office
work at the City Hall or other locations, subject
to scheduling to meet the needs of the City
Manager and of the City administration in general.
2. Salary: The same as I have been receiving as interim City
Attorney: $1,250.00 per month. This would be
firm for at least the remainder of 1982. It may
thereafter be subject to renegotiation, with the
desire on my part to maintain a parity in the
future with the terms of my employment with
Cathedral City.
3. Vacation: Three weeks paid vacation per year accrual
rate of 14' days per month of service). Accrual
shall commence effective May 1, 1982, with five
days beginning credit to account for work
performed prior to that date.
4. Expenses: There shall be reimbursement for actual and
necessary expenses incurred in the performance
of official duties for the City.
5. Sick Leave: One day entitlement paid leave) for each
month of service, cumulative, but usable
only for actual sickness or physical dis-
ability.
6. Frin?e Benefits: If and when these are established for
employees who work less than 21-time, I
will be included as a participant in programs
and fringe benefits such as but not
limited to) retirement,

life or disability insurance, income
continuation insurance, automobile
allowances, and the like.
7. Duties.' To serve principally as house counsel" for the
City Gcv?rnment and legal advisor to the City
Council, performing in general the duties pre-
scribed in Chapter 2.16 of the Municipal Code.
Other than such minor, routine and rudimentary
litigation in Municipal Court as can be handled
within the basic time employment framework
prescribed in #1 above, I will not be able to
handle any litigation in which the City might
become involved. Such litigation will need to
be contracted out to law firms equipped and
staffed to handle such litigation.
If Council decides to employ my services, I shall prepare
an appropriate resolution for action by Council at a regular
meeting.
Sincerely,
ND F. OT??
