Hello Scott,
First of all, Peter and I would like to thank you for the opportunity to represent the Costa Mesa Sanitary
District since July 29th when we began our engagement. We think you will agree that our partnership
has been extremely productive and enjoyable.
As you are aware, our agreement will lapse on November 28t. We previously discussed with you and
President Scheafer the extension of our contract to assist in dealing with potential LAFCO issues,
drafting and editing press releases and collateral materials and strengthening relationships with various
stakeholder and key decision makers.
Given what we already know, and what we expect to transpire in the near future, we believe strongly
that it would be prudent for CMSD to consider a one-year extension of our agreement at$10,000.00 per
month. No one could have predicted the activity level of the past four months. We are proud to have
"over delivered" our services and in a timely manner,and feel that this increase in our monthly retainer
structure is merited given the scope of work that lies ahead.
Again, you have been a terrific client and we believe we can continue our momentum in enhancing the
CMSD brand. We appreciate your trust and confidence in allowing Faubel Public Affairs and Curt Pringle
&Associates to be on your team.
Sincerely,
.641111111111.17.
