The City Attorney shall receive a monthly retainer in such amounts as the Council may, from time to time, establish by ordinance. The monthly retainer paid by the City as fixed from time to time by ordinance shall be compensation to the City Attorney for all legal services performed in connection with or having to do with all city operations in a governmental, as distinguished from a proprietary capacity; provided, however, that this shall not include representing the City in any superior court action, nor preparation therefor, nor shall the retainer include time spent on purchasing of property, obtaining easements, rights-of-way, nor time spent on obligation bond issues, revenue bond issues or condemnation actions, nor time spent in the preparation and drafting of special ordinances or resolutions, nor services rendered in connection with any local improvement distracts or annexation. It is contemplated that, from time to time, some cause may come before the City requiring services over and above the formal duties of the City Attorney, and that when such services are requested and required by the City Council, they too shall be compensated at the rate now fixed for additional duties, which rate shall be consistent with and based on the hourly fee and court proceedings fee established by the Seattle-King County Bar Association. The rate shall be the rate paid for all services performed by the City Attorney other than those covered by the monthly retainer; provided, however, that if the rate established by the Seattle-King County Bar Association should be changed or a fee schedule should be hereafter adopted by the East King County Bar Association, then the rate may be changed accordingly by ordinance. It is further provided that in the event additional services or duties are required of the City Attorney, for which additional compensation is to be paid as above set forth, additional duties and services shall be reflected in the minutes of the City Council. (Ord. 300 § 2, 1963).
