Dear Dr. ShackeG
As you may know, on March 16,2015, the firm of Eberharter-Maki & Tappeq PA merged with
Moore Smith Buxton & Turcke, cht4 an estabtished law fimr that represents a variety of
political zubdivisions, including cities, counties, water districts, fire disricts, etc. This merger
has allowed us to provide Idaho school disercts and charter schools with an even greater range of
legal services. While our philosophy has remained the same - helping our clients avoid cosfly
fidgation by practicing preventive law - tle greater range of legal services include experienced
litigators and appellste attomeys, as well expertise in personnel matters and bonds.
In addition to working with Idaho school disticts in the areas of special education, student
discipline and personnel matters, we are also available to support you in all administative and
civil law issues, including, but not limited to, contsact review and negotiations, constitutional
issues, district consolidafion, constuction, real estate matters and board of trustee matters such
as policy developmen! public records and open meeting law requirements to nme just a fewof
tni fegal issues surr,orurding public education. We are available by phone or email and typically
respond to your request for assistance the same day it is received. We are also available for
board meetings, hearings, or other events as needed.
I am enclosing for your review and signatu€ an updated t egal Services Agreement (LSA). You
will note that the annual retainer conlinues to be only $51 0, and the hourly attorney rate has not
changed. However, the hourly rate for legal assistant time has decreased. Additionally, the LSA
no tonger witt be sigred on a yearly basis. Rathcr, the terms of the agreement will continue from
year to year, with the option for either party to rcnegotiate the terms of the agreement, ol

LSAs currently existing with other taxing subdivisions. The LSA also allows for representation
in specific projects, including litigation, which can b€ handled as an individual billing matter.
If you have a current balance in your 2014-201 5 retainer, it will rollover and be applied to the
2015-2016 retainer, with this siped Legal service Agreemenl ln past years, if the retainer was
not firlly used by June 306, the law firm retained any remaining funds'
we look forward to providing you and your School District with the legal services necessary to
address all of the issues you rray be encountering. Please do not hesitate to oontact me if you
have any questions regarding the changes to the enclosed LSA.
