Dan McHugh, City Attorney <br />August 13, 2021 <br />Page 3 <br />BEST BEST & KRIEGER ; <br />ATTORNRYS AT LAW <br />NEW MATTERS <br />When we are engaged by a new client on a particular matter, we are often later asked to <br />work on additional matters. You should know that such new matters will be the subject of a new <br />signed supplement to this agreement. Similarly, this agreement does not cover and is not a <br />commitment by either of us that we will undertake any appeals or collection procedures. Any such <br />future work would also have to be agreed upon in a signed supplement. <br />CIVILITY IN LITIGATION <br />In litigation, courtesy is customarily honored with opposing counsel, such as extensions to <br />file pleadings or responses to other deadlines. In our experience, the reciprocal extension of such <br />courtesies saves our clients' time and money By signing this letter you will be confirming your <br />approval of this practice in your case. <br />HOW THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE TERMINATED <br />You, of course, have the right to end our services at any time. If you do so, you will be <br />responsible for the payment of fees and costs accrued but not yet paid, plus reasonable fees and <br />costs in transferring the case to you or your new counsel. By the same token, we reserve the right <br />to terminate our services to you upon written notice, order of the court, or in accordance with our <br />attached Billing Policies memorandum. This could happen if you fail to pay our fees and costs as <br />agreed, fail to cooperate with us in this matter, or if we determine we cannot continue to represent <br />you for ethical or practical concerns. <br />CLIENT FILE <br />If you do not request the return of your file, we will retain your file for five years. After <br />five years, we may have your file destroyed. If you would like your file maintained for more than <br />five years or returned, you must make separate arrangements with us. <br />THANK YOU <br />On a personal note, we are pleased that you have selected Best Best & Krieger LLP to <br />continue representing Redlands. We look forward to a continued long and valued relationship <br />with Redlands and appreciate your confidence in selecting us to represent Redlands in regards to <br />the Project. If you have any questions at any time about our services or billings, please do not <br />hesitate to call me. <br />09957.00000\34278788.1 <br />
