ENCLOSURES:
The attached resolution provides for an increase in the amount for legal services rendered
in the above -referenced lawsuit. The mediation sessions have evolved into a longer process than
originally anticipated thereby requiring the assistance and presence of Tom Scott, Esq.
At this point, I am unable to predict with any degree of reasonable certainty as to when
the mediation process will be concluded, Notwithstanding, representation must be continued and,
accordingly, it is requested that you approve an increase in fees for said services in the amount of
$25,000,
