The City expects services to be provided on an as-needed basis. Hearings may be held at City Hall or remotely by video conference, at the City Attorney's discretion. The stated 2027 rate is $185 per hour, inclusive of travel and related expenses, with a $1,000 cap per hearing assignment unless the City gives prior written authorization.
