ITEMNO. 3 - ITEMS FROM THE PUBLIC
None.
ITEM NO. 4 - OLD BUSINESS
a. Southtowns AWTF Expansion Proiect
Mr. Fiegl discussed the recent progress ofthe Southtowns Advanced wastewater
Treatment Facility (AWTF) Phase I and Phase 2 Expansion Project. Onsite work for Phase I is
in a'soft' winter shutdown. The major remaining work is associated with the ORF influent
piping, addressing the punch list, and final restoration. Contractors / sub-contractor staffwill be
onsite in the coming weeks to complete smaller punch list items, but the rest of the work is
expected to be finished in the spring. The only major concem on the punch list is associated
with the new flow meter and the location of its access hatch, which does not appear conducive
for future maintenance. The engineer and contractor are discussing options to address this access
issue. Regarding Contract No. 8l - the Southtowns AWTF Pre-Phase 2 Electrical project - is
presently in the early stage with submittal reviews. Regarding Contract No. 82 - the Southtowns
AWTF Landfill Reclamation project - construction is complete, and approval for close out will
likety be requested at the next Board meeting.

The new effluent pumping station and chlorine contact tank have been operational for
three (3) months. During the last Board meeting the Division of Sewerage Management (DSM)
discussed the formation of algae in the new chlorine contact tank. While algae has not been an
issue with the change in weather, there have been problems with certain State Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (SPDES) permit compliance samples that have led to adjustments
by operations staff to address. Otherwise, everything appears to be functioning well.
Phase 2 construction continues to be on hold until the new SPDES permit is in
place. The updated goal has been to bid Phase 2 work in the first quarter of 2026, however, the
DSM has yet to receive the draft permit from the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation (NIYSDEC). The last update from the NYSDEC was the draft permit was sent to
their Division of Environmental Permits on October 3 I 't, which usually takes another week or
two before a permit is published. It is uncertain why there has been another delay.
As noted during the last Board meeting, Arcadis, the project consultant, has analyzed
their remaining work to be completed based on the latest construction schedule and the
additional services they have provided. This information was reviewed and there has been back-
and-forth on various questions/comments. Ultimately an amendment to Arcadis's engineering
agreement would be issued along with award tbr the Phase 2 contractor. Finally, there are no
updates on the $10 million grant request through the NYSDEC's Water Quality Improvement
Project program or the $25 million grant request through the New York State Environmental
Facility Corporation's Water Infrastructure Improvement Act program.
b. Steuben Foods / Mooe
In July 2025 the DSM submitted a FAST-NY Track "B" grant application to Empire
State Development for the Elma Pumping Station and Force Main Upgrades project. In October
2025 Empire State Development requested, and were subsequently sent, additional infbrmation
to support their review of the application. While awaiting word on the potential grant, the DSM,
Steuben Foods, and Moog have completed a memorandum of agreement for the Track "B"
project should the grant be awarded, including the cost share by both industries. The DSM has
also completed a draft request for proposals for the Elma Pumping Station and Force Main
Upgrades engineering work. With these items drafted, the hope is to decrease the lead time
before actual work may commence should a grant award be issued.
ITEM NO. 5 _ NEW BUSINESS

The Board reviewed a copy of the payments on a handout for the month ofDecember
2025. On a motion by Mr. Millar, seconded by Mr. Rood, the Board voted to approve the

NYSEG and RG&E Contribute More than $4.3M
Since 2023 to Manufacturing Businesses
Across the State
Funding has created and retained more than 9,000 jobs in the Company’s service area
Powering NY plan addresses capacity, ensuring business development and regional
economic growth
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — December 18, 2025 — New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG) and Rochester
Gas and Electric (RG&E) have contributed more than $4.3 million to manufacturing businesses across
the state through the Manufacturing Accelerator Program (MAP) since 2023. MAP helps small to mid-
sized businesses grow.
“Investments in these companies are an investment for all New Yorkers,” said Manager of NYSEG and
RG&E’s Economic Development Joe Sayre. “These businesses provide jobs in communities, ensuring
workers can provide for their families, which also stimulates the overall economy.”
Since 2023, investments have contributed to more than 9,000 jobs in the Company’s service area.
NYSEG has provided over $1.9 million in matching grant funds to MAP applicants, resulting in the
creation and retention of 7,022 jobs across the Company’s service area. RG&E has provided over $2.4
million, which has created and retained 2,094 jobs across its service area.
“The Manufacturing Accelerator Program has become a critical catalyst for growth in our region’s
economy,” said Nextcorp President James Senall. “Through our partnership with RG&E, NextCorps has
been able to help small and mid-sized manufacturers take on productivity improvements and business
growth projects that they simply wouldn’t have pursued without this support. In just 2024 and 2025,
we’ve completed 100 projects with 65 manufacturers, leading to the creation and retention of 435 jobs
and generating more than $79 million in combined sales impact, investment, and cost savings.”
“NYSEG’s Manufacturing Accelerator Program has been a tremendous resource for WNY
manufacturers,” said Insyte Consulting President Benjamin Rand. “Since 2018, NYSEG MAP grants
have provided nearly $1M to support improvement projects for more than 50 WNY manufacturers,
resulting in over $875M in economic impact in our region, including over 3,350 jobs created or saved.”
"The NYSEG Manufacturing Accelerator Program is a vital resource for manufacturers. Its funding
helps companies grow, innovate, and improve productivity,” said Alliance for Manufacturing and
Technology’s Executive Director Carol Miller. “The MAP-supported projects have generated more than
Page 36
$380 million in economic impact and helped create or retain over 1,900 manufacturing jobs. MAP
helps deliver real results, and our region is stronger because of it."
MAP is one component of a broader grant funding program designed to invest directly into the
communities the Companies serve. Since 2023, NYSEG and RG&E have awarded more than $39
million in grants to businesses, fueling over $1.1 billion in capital investment and driving transformative
economic growth across New York.
Post-pandemic, there has been an exponential surge in economic development growth across the
state, which has increased energy demand. The Companies’ Powering NY plan is a $16 billion proposal
to address capacity constraints to ensure future business development and regional economic
growth.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 29, 2025
NYSEG and RG&E Working Overnight to
Restore Power
Crews continue to work to restore power quickly and safely
LANCASTER, N.Y. — December 29, 2025 — New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG) and Rochester
Gas and Electric (RG&E) are responding to outages in Western and Central New York caused by the
impacts of Winter Storm Ezra, which continues to deliver hazardous wind gusts and will deliver lake
effect snow overnight.
Both NYSEG and RG&E service areas are experiencing impacts, with the most significant outages in
the Lancaster and Rochester Central divisions. As of Monday evening, NYSEG has approximately
7,000 customers without power and RG&E has approximately 2,600 customers without power.
The vast majority of customers in both these divisions who experienced outages today are expected
to be restored by midnight, December 30th. This may not include customers who experience an outage
at a later time while this snow and wind event is still impacting the area.
Freezing rain and wind gusts have caused approximately 52,700 outages today in NYSEG’s Lancaster
division, with restoration efforts successfully bringing service back to more than 47,000 customers so
far. RG&E’s Rochester Central Division has experienced 25,700 outages, with service restored to more
than 23,600 customers so far.
Across the Companies’ entire service area, more than 97,000 customers have been affected by this
event, with more than 87,000 customers restored.
Crews will continue to work around the clock and through tough conditions, including high winds and
cold temperatures, to restore power quickly and safely to impacted customers.
COMPANY PREPARATIONS
Readying Crews
In preparation for the event, the company has pre-staged more than 500 line and tree crews across
the state to assist with restoration efforts if needed. Company and contractor crews will be onsite and
prepared to facilitate an effective and efficient response should outages occur.
Equipment Summary
The line and tree crews will be prepared to respond to any wind related issues with bucket trucks,
auger trucks, dump trucks, and backhoes.
How to Stay Up-to-Date
Internal Use
Page 41
NYSEG and RG&E will provide updates throughout the event on their websites and social media
channels (Facebook, Instagram and X). Customers should also sign up for email alerts and download
the NYSEG or RG&E mobile app to get the most up-to-date information.
Safety Tips
The Company offers customers the following reminders to prepare for the storm and stay safe if
power outages occur.
Before a storm strikes:
• You can use our mobile apps to report and check the status of outages. To download
the application, customers should search “AVANGRID” in the Apple or Android app stores
and select “NYSEG” or “RG&E.” The application is free to download.
• Sign up for Outage Alerts to receive updates automatically by phone, text, or email as
the Companies update the status of the restoration process in their area. Customers can
sign up for outage alerts by visiting here for NYSEG and here for RG&E.
• Keep battery-operated flashlights and radios on hand, along with supplies of drinking
water and non-perishable foods.
• Make sure that smart phones, tablets, and other mobile devices are fully charged.
• Fill your car’s fuel tank.
Stay away from downed wires:
• Stay at least 30 feet from a downed power line.
• If a downed wire comes in contact with your vehicle, stay inside and wait for help. If
you must get out because of fire or other danger, jump clear of the vehicle to avoid any
contact with the vehicle and the ground at the same time. Land with your feet together and
hop with feet together or shuffle away; don’t run or stride.
• NYSEG customers should call 1.800.572.1131 and RG&E customers should call
1.800.743.1701 to report downed power lines or other hazardous situations.
During a power interruption:
• Contact neighbors to see if their power is off. A loss of power may be the result of a
blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker.
• To report a power interruption, contact NYSEG at 1.800.572.1131 or RG&E at
1.800.743.1701.
• Keep refrigerators and freezers closed as much as possible. Most food will last 24
hours if you minimize the opening of refrigerator and freezer doors.
Power restoration priorities:
The Companies’ first priorities are to respond to reports of downed power lines to keep the public
safe. NYSEG customers are asked to call 1.800.572.1131 and RG&E customers are asked to call at
1.800.743.1701 to report downed wires.
Once this vital public safety work is complete, the company will:
• Assess the damage to the electricity delivery system.
• Develop a detailed restoration plan.
• Make repairs as quickly as possible.

NYSEG and RG&E Responding to Outages
Cause by Winter Storm Ezra
More than 525 crews staged around state, poised to restore
LANCASTER, N.Y. — December 29, 2025 — New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG) and Rochester
Gas and Electric (RG&E) are responding to outages in Western and Central New York caused by
impacts of Winter Storm Ezra, which has begun to deliver the forecasted hazardous wind gusts, lake
effect snow, and icing to Upstate New York.
Both NYSEG and RG&E service areas are experiencing impacts, with the most significant outages in
Lancaster and Rochester Central. The Companies are engaged in response with more than 525 line
and contract crews staged around the state for restoration efforts.
Early freezing rain and wind gusts have caused approximately 14,000 outages in NYSEG’s Lancaster
division, which includes portions of Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, and Erie Counties and approximately
7,000 outages in Rochester Central in Monroe County.
The Companies have been closely monitoring weather forecasts and have leveraged steps already
taken to prepare, including use of staged crews and equipment across the state, mobilized employees
for storm response, and secured additional contract line and tree resources. As the storm continues to
impact customers, NYSEG and RG&E are ready to respond and restore service as safely and quickly
as possible.
COMPANY PREPARATIONS
Readying Crews
In preparation for the event, the company pre-staged more than 525 line and tree crews across the
state to assist with restoration efforts if needed. Company and contractor crews are onsite and are
prepared to facilitate an effective and efficient response.
Equipment Summary
The line and tree crews are staged and prepared to respond to any wind-related issues with heavy
equipment, including bucket trucks, backhoes, etc.
How to Stay Up-to-Date
NYSEG and RG&E will continue to provide updates throughout the event on their websites and social
media channels (Facebook, Instagram and X). Customers should also sign up for email alerts and

Safety Tips
The Company offers customers the following reminders to prepare for the storm and stay safe if
power outages occur.
Before a storm strikes:
• You can use our mobile apps to report and check the status of outages. To download
the application, customers should search “AVANGRID” in the Apple or Android app stores
and select “NYSEG” or “RG&E.” The application is free to download.
• Sign up for Outage Alerts to receive updates automatically by phone, text, or email as
the Companies update the status of the restoration process in their area. Customers can
sign up for outage alerts by visiting here for NYSEG and here for RG&E.
• Keep battery-operated flashlights and radios on hand, along with supplies of drinking
water and non-perishable foods.
• Make sure that smart phones, tablets, and other mobile devices are fully charged.
• Fill your car’s fuel tank.
Stay away from downed wires:
• Stay at least 30 feet from a downed power line.
• If a downed wire comes in contact with your vehicle, stay inside and wait for help. If
you must get out because of fire or other danger, jump clear of the vehicle to avoid any
contact with the vehicle and the ground at the same time. Land with your feet together and
hop with feet together or shuffle away; don’t run or stride.
• NYSEG customers should call 1.800.572.1131 and RG&E customers should call
1.800.743.1701 to report downed power lines or other hazardous situations.
During a power interruption:
• Contact neighbors to see if their power is off. A loss of power may be the result of a
blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker.
• To report a power interruption, contact NYSEG at 1.800.572.1131 or RG&E at
1.800.743.1701.
• Keep refrigerators and freezers closed as much as possible. Most food will last 24
hours if you minimize the opening of refrigerator and freezer doors.
Power restoration priorities:
The Companies’ first priorities are to respond to reports of downed power lines to keep the public
safe. NYSEG customers are asked to call 1.800.572.1131 and RG&E customers are asked to call at
1.800.743.1701 to report downed wires.
Once this vital public safety work is complete, the company will:
• Assess the damage to the electricity delivery system.
• Develop a detailed restoration plan.
• Make repairs as quickly as possible.

P.M. Eastern Prevailing Time there were:
Present: Supervisor Jason A. Keding, Councilwoman Kelly Martin, Councilwoman Kathleen
Selby, Councilman Robert Penders, and Councilman Max Stephan
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town of Boston does hereby adopt the
following procurement policies and procedures for this year:
Guideline 1. Every prospective purchase of goods or services shall be evaluated to determine the
applicability of General Municipal Law, Sec. 103. Every Town officer, board, department head or
other personnel with the requisite purchasing authority (hereinafter "Purchaser") shall estimate the
cumulative amount of the items of supply or equipment needed in a given fiscal year. That estimate
shall include the canvass of other Town departments and past history to determine the likely yearly
value of the commodity to be acquired. The information gathered and conclusions reached shall be
documented and kept with the file documentation supporting the purchase activity.
Guideline 2. All purchases of (a) supplies or equipment which will exceed $20,000 in the fiscal year;
or (b) public works contracts over $35,000 shall be formally bid pursuant to GML, Sec. 103.
Guideline 3.
1) All estimated purchases of supplies or equipment of less than $20,000 but greater than
$10,000 require a written request for a proposal (RFP) and written/fax quotes from three
vendors; less than $10,000 but greater than $5,000 require an oral request/fax quotes from at
least three vendors; less than $5,000 but greater than $1,500 require an oral request for the
goods and oral/fax quotes from 3 vendors if possible; less than $1,500 are left to the discretion
of the Purchaser.
2) All estimated public works contracts of less than $35,000 but greater than $20,000 require a
written request for proposal (RFP) and fax/proposals from 3 contractors; less than $20,000
but greater than $10,000 require a written request for proposal and fax/proposals from at least

4) All information gathered in complying with the procedures of this Guideline shall be
preserved and filed with the documentation supporting the subsequent purchase or public
works contract.
Guideline 4.
4.1 Purpose
The Town Board of the Town of Boston seeks to exercise the local option set forth in
§ 103, Subdivision 1, of the New York General Municipal Law, as amended by Chapter 608 of
the Laws of 2011 and Chapter 2 of the Laws of 2012, which amendment authorizes the Town to
award purchase contracts and contracts for services subject to competitive bidding under General
Municipal Law § 103 on the basis of either lowest responsible bidder or "best value" as defined
in § 163 of the New York State Finance Law. The "best value" option may be used if it is more
cost efficient over time to award the good or service to other than the lowest responsible bidder if
factors such as lower cost of maintenance, durability, higher quality and longer product life are
germane.
4.2 Award based on low bid or best value.
The Town Board of the Town of Boston may award purchase contracts and service contracts that
have been procured pursuant to competitive bidding under the General Municipal Law § 103 by
either lowest responsible bidder or best value.
4.3 Applicability
The provisions of this chapter apply to Town purchase contacts or contracts for services
involving an expenditure of more than $10,000, but exclude purchase contracts necessary for the
completion of a public works contract pursuant to Article 8 of the State Labor Law and exclude
any other contract that may in the future be excluded under state law from the best value option.
4.4 Standards for best value
Goods and services procured and awarded on the basis of best value are those that the Town
Board of the Town of Boston determines will be of the highest quality while being the most
efficient. The determination of quality and cost efficiency shall be based on objectively
quantified and clearly described and documented criteria which may include, but shall not be
limited to, any or all of the following: cost of maintenance; proximity to the end user if distance
or response time is a significant term; durability; availability of replacement parts or
maintenance contractors; longer product life; product performance criteria; and quality of
craftsmanship.
4.5 Documentation.
Whenever any contract is awarded on the basis of best value instead of lowest responsible
bidder, the basis for determining best value shall be thoroughly and accurately documented.
Page 2 of 4
Page 79
4.6 Procurement policy superseded where inconsistent.
Any inconsistent provision of the Town's Procurement Policy, as adopted prior to the effective
date of this chapter by resolution of the Town Board of the Town of Boston, or as amended
thereafter, shall be deemed superseded by the provisions of this chapter.
Guideline 5. A good-faith effort shall be made to obtain the required number of proposals or
quotations. If the Purchaser is unable to obtain the required number of proposals or quotations, the
Purchaser shall document the attempt made at obtaining the proposals. In no event shall the inability
to obtain the proposals or quotes be a bar to the procurement.
Guideline 6. Except when directed by the Town Board, no solicitation of written proposals or
quotations shall be required under the following circumstances:
(a) Acquisition of professional services;
(b) Emergencies;
(c) Sole source situations;
(d) Goods purchased from agencies for the blind or severely handicapped;
(e) Goods purchased from correctional facilities;
(f) Goods purchased from another Governmental agency;
(g) Goods purchased at auction;
(h) Goods purchased for less than $1,500;
(i) Public works contracts for less than $1,500.
(j) Purchases pursuant to State or county bid, or local or federal bid.
Guideline 7. Any Town official designated by resolution as responsible for purchasing can
approve purchases up to $1500. Purchases $1500 to $5000 require written approval by the
Supervisor. Purchases over $5000 must be approved by the Town Board. Purchases over $300
require a P.O. as specified in the Capital Asset Policy.
Guideline 8. Overnight travel in any amount must be approved at a Town Board Meeting.
Guideline 9. All vouchers shall contain information which properly and clearly identify the job,
project, vehicle or equipment for which the parts, repair, and/or replacement pertain to. Expense
reimbursement will be submitted on a quarterly basis. Full year vouchers accumulated will not be
honored.
Guideline 10. This policy shall be reviewed annually by the Town Board at its organizational
meeting shall or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable.

Compensation Disclosures
1. Gallagher Companies are primarily compensated from the usual and customary commissions, fees or, where permitted, a
combination of both, for brokerage and servicing of insurance policies, annuity contracts, guarantee contracts and surety bonds
(collectively “insurance coverages”) handled for a client’s account, which may vary based on market conditions and the insurance
product placed for the client.
2. In placing, renewing, consulting on or servicing your insurance coverages, Gallagher companies may participate in contingent
and supplemental commission arrangements with intermediaries and insurance companies that provide for additional compensation
if certain underwriting, profitability, volume or retention goals are achieved. Such goals are typically based on the total amount of
certain insurance coverages placed by Gallagher with the insurance company, not on an individual policy basis. As a result,
Gallagher may be considered to have an incentive to place your insurance coverages with a particular insurance company. If you do
not wish to have your commercial insurance placement included in consideration for additional compensation, contact your producer
or service team for an Opt-out form.
3. Gallagher Companies may receive investment income on fiduciary funds temporarily held by them, or from obtaining or
generating premium finance quotes, unless prohibited by law.
4. Gallagher Companies may also access or have an ownership interest in other facilities, including wholesalers, reinsurance
intermediaries, captive managers, underwriting managers and others that act as intermediaries for both Gallagher and other brokers
in the insurance marketplace some of which may earn and retain customary brokerage commission and fees for their work.
If you have specific questions about any compensation received by Gallagher and its affiliates in relation to your insurance
placements, please contact your Gallagher representative for more details.

Re: Scott Overhoff et al v. Town of Boston Zoning Board of Appeals et al. (Index No.:
821674/2025).
Dear : Supervisor Keding
Thank you for contacting Lippes Mathias, LLP in connection with the litigation regarding the
Town of Boston Zoning Board of Appeals’ denial of a use variance in the case of Scott Overhoff
et al v. Town of Boston Zoning Board of Appeals et al. (Index No.: 821674/2025). Through our
previous discussion, you have informed me that the Town of Boston is seeking representation
for this litigation. We are willing to accept this engagement.
Fees and Costs
Regarding our legal fees, we will record all time attributed to activities related to this
representation and issue monthly statements for services rendered. I will be the coordinating
attorney for all activities concerning this matter. Whenever appropriate, we may utilize the
services of other attorneys in our office as needed consistent with the objective of providing
quality legal services at a reasonable cost. My hourly billing rate for this representation shall be
discounted to $250.00.
We will send you a monthly invoice for our legal services. You may make any future payments
via wire transfer to the following address:

Page 121
Additionally, in the course of the representation, we may incur certain costs such as document
reproduction, overnight mail, travel, etc. These disbursements and others will be billed on a
monthly basis. Prior to the engagement of any independent consultants or experts, we will notify
you of our recommendations to retain such an independent consultant and obtain your approval
prior to incurring any costs for such a purpose. The attachment to this correspondence entitled
“Standard Terms of Engagement” sets forth additional terms and conditions applied to our
representation of this matter.
If you fail to pay our bills promptly, we will have the right to cease performing further work and
withdraw from the representation. Additionally, it is our responsibility to inform you that New
York State has a procedure for arbitration (and in some cases mediation) of fee disputes which
may arise between lawyers and clients in civil matters, with some exceptions. We will provide
you with additional information regarding this procedure if you so desire.
Preservation of Relevant Documents and Materials
Please be advised of your responsibility to preserve all records and documents including any
Electronically Stored Information (“ESI”). Out of an abundance of caution, we would like to
remind you that, as part of your ongoing duties as a client, it is incumbent upon you to maintain
and preserve all paper and electronic documents or devices that may contain information or
materials in any way relating to or affecting the scope of our representation. This obligation
includes a duty to preserve all Electronically Stored Information or other data stored on any
computer system, storage media or any other electronic device within your custody or control.
In this regard, relevant ESI includes, but is not limited to, email, electronic communications,
electronic documents (including various drafts of the same document), spreadsheets, internet
usage files, website material, meta-data, social media postings, information stored on electronic
servers, hard drives, removable storage drives, voicemail, computer network information, and
cellular telephones.
Consequently, at this time you must take every reasonable step to retain and preserve
this information until the final resolution of this action. In addition, until this matter is
concluded, you must suspend any policy which allows for the periodic destruction of ESI
on other documents.
In the event you do not understand any aspect of this instruction, we request that you promptly
notify us so that we can discuss and resolve any issues in this regard.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.
As an expression of your agreement to these terms, we ask that you sign this letter where
indicated and return it to our firm. We look forward to working with you on a speedy and
beneficial solution to this matter.

LIPPES MATHIAS LLP (the “Firm”)
STATEMENT OF STANDARD TERMS OF ENGAGEMENT FOR LEGAL SERVICES
(the “Statement”)
1. Understanding
We are pleased that you have selected our Firm to represent you in connection with the legal
services you require. Experience has shown that our relationship with you will be stronger if we
initiate with a mutual understanding about our services, our charges, and their payment. Unless
the engagement letter or retainer agreement relating to the particular matter for which we have
been retained to represent you specifically alters these arrangements, the terms of this Statement
will apply to our representation. These terms will also apply to all future matters in which we
represent, advise, or counsel you, unless expressly changed in a subsequent engagement letter or
retainer agreement.
2. Scope of Representation
Our representation is limited to the person or entity named in the engagement letter or retainer
agreement, even though in certain instances the payment of our fees may be the responsibility of
others. The firm’s professional responsibilities are owed only to the person or entity that is the
named client of the firm, and there is no attorney-client relationship between the firm and any
related person or entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain instances, the engagement
letter or retainer agreement for a particular matter may require, or, the law may require, a
principal, shareholder, officer, member, partner, joint venturer, insurer, or other responsible
person affiliated with or employed by any such entity to be responsible, or co- responsible, to
pay the firm’s fees, expenses and disbursements. For example, in the event of the representation
of a minor, a conservatee, an alleged incompetent person, or a judicially declared incompetent,
the firm may require a parent, guardian, conservator, trustee, beneficiary, or other responsible
person to be responsible to pay the firm’s fees, expenses and disbursements.
You are engaging us to provide legal services, advice, or counsel in connection with the specific
representation set forth in the engagement letter or retainer agreement. After completion of the
representation, changes may occur in applicable laws, rules or regulations that could affect or
impact your future rights and liabilities. We will have no obligation to represent, advise or
counsel you with respect to the legal impact of such changes or their impact, unless we are
specifically re-engaged by you for that purpose.
Unless otherwise specified in the engagement letter, our representation does not include
responsibility either for review of the client’s insurance policies to determine the possibility of
coverage for any claims that have been or may be asserted against the client or for notification of
client’s insurance carriers concerning the matter.
Page 124
3. Conflicts
The firm represents many different clients on a wide variety of legal matters. The firm wishes
to be able to consider the representation of other persons who may be competitors in your industry,
or who may have interests that are potentially adverse to yours, but with respect to matters that
are unrelated in any way to our representation of you. The ethics that govern us permit us to
accept such multiple representations, assuming certain requirements are met. Other than as
consented to by you in writing, during the term of this engagement, we agree that we will not
accept representation of another client to pursue interests that are directly adverse to your
interests.
4. Fees
Fees for services rendered will be consistent with the New York State Bar Association Rules of
Professional Conduct contained in Part 1200 of Title 22 of the New York Codes, Rules and
Regulations. Such fees will be based primarily on hourly attorney billing rates which differ
depending generally on the attorney’s experience and years of practice. The firm adjusts hourly
billing rates periodically to reflect current levels of legal experience, changes in our operating
costs and other factors. The firm may also adjust the charges upward, based on other factors such
as the novelty or complexity of the issues and problems encountered, the extent of the
responsibility involved, assumed or undertaken, the result achieved (i.e., the benefit to the client),
the customary fees for similar legal services, the time constraints imposed upon us by the client
for the completion of the work or representation, and other customary factors or circumstances.
Although the firm may, from time to time, for a client’s convenience, furnish estimates of fees
or costs that we anticipate will be incurred, these estimates are subject to unforeseen
circumstances and developments, and are not binding on the firm.
The time for which a client will be charged includes, without limitation, telephone and office
conferences with a client, other attorneys, witnesses, expert witnesses, consultants, service
providers, investigators, court personnel, and others, conferences among our legal personnel,
factual investigation, legal research, responding to clients’ inquiries, responding to clients’
requests for us to provide information to their auditors or accountants in connection with reviews
or audits of financial statements, drafting of letters, pleadings, subpoenas, affidavits, notices,
demands, briefs, memoranda of law, or other documents, travel time, waiting time in court, time
in court or in trial, hearings, mediations, arbitrations, or arguing appeals, and time in depositions
or other discovery proceedings, including but not limited to inspections of documents.
In an effort to reduce legal fees, work will be assigned to attorneys or paralegals with lower billing
rates where appropriate and consistent with proper representation.
5. Invoices
Except as otherwise agreed in writing, invoices are typically rendered monthly to reflect work
performed in the previous month, as well as disbursements and expenses incurred on your behalf
or in the ordinary course of the representation.
Page 125
In addition to our fees, we will be entitled to advance payment of, or reimbursement for, costs
and expenses incurred in performing or obtaining services such as photocopying, messenger and
delivery service, stenographic services, travel (including mileage, parking, airfare, lodging, meals
and ground transportation), long-distance facsimile, court costs and filing fees, expert analysis
and/or testimony, or any other services as may be needful or desirable in the performance of our
representation of you. Certain of such items may be charged at more than our direct costs to
cover our overhead. Unless special arrangements are made at the outset, fees and expenses of
others will not be paid by us and will be the responsibility of, and billed directly to, the client, or
we may require that the client pay for the same in advance or directly to the vendor.
We also may make separate charges for computerized legal research (such as “Lexis” or
“Westlaw”), as use of such systems substantially reduces attorney research time, and thus assists
in controlling the cost to you. You may also be charged for necessary overtime and associated
charges for secretarial or word processing time.
6. Payment
Fees and expenses will be billed monthly and are payable upon presentation and, in any event,
not later than thirty (30) days after the date of our invoice. If we do not receive questions about
the invoice promptly after receipt, it will be assumed that you have examined the invoice and
found it in good order and satisfactory with respect to the fees and disbursements invoiced. We
expect prompt payment. Invoices unpaid after thirty (30) days will be subject to interest at
the rate of 1% per month on the unpaid balance commencing from the date of the invoice until
paid. Unless other arrangements are made, payments should be made in checks or drafts payable
to the order of “Lippes Mathias LLP.” Any checks or drafts which are returned unpaid or
marked “insufficient funds” will be treated, for purposes of this and the next paragraph, as if no
payment had been made. We reserve the right to postpone or defer providing legal services or to
discontinue our representation if billed amounts are not paid when due. The Firm also reserves
the right to require full payment of all outstanding amounts before releasing the client’s file to the
client or to new counsel, as long as no material prejudice to the client would result.
7. Delinquent Invoices
We have collection procedures which we will follow to ensure that a client’s account is paid
promptly. In the event that it becomes necessary to utilize these collection procedures in order
to collect payment of a delinquent invoice or invoices, the client will be obligated to pay our
reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and other disbursements incurred to pursue payment.
8. Retainers
New clients of the firm are generally required to pay the firm a retainer as set forth in the
engagement letter. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the retainer will be credited against your
invoices, if any, on a monthly basis at the time the invoice is generated. Any unused amount
of the retainer will be refunded at the end of the firm’s services. The firm may request additional
retainers be provided during the course of its representation. Failure or refusal to pay such
additional retainer(s) may, in the firm’s sole discretion, consistent with our ethical obligations
Page 126
and judicial requirements, furnish grounds for the firm either to terminate our representation or
cease performing services for you until arrangements for the payment of such additional
retainer(s) satisfactory to us have been made.
9. Work Assignments
The firm retains the discretion, consistent with our professional obligations, to assign your
work to firm lawyers, paralegals, law clerks and support staff as it sees fit, whether for the sake
of efficiency, to accomplish cost savings, or for any other reason as it deems necessary or
desirable. However, the client will, at all times, be apprised of the identity of the attorney
primarily responsible for his or her representation or matter and such responsible attorney will be
available to discuss the representation, matter, or use of other personnel with the client upon
request.
Should you have any concerns about the staffing or handling of your matter, please bring them to
the attention of the responsible attorney promptly.
10. Federal Tax Advice
Federal tax regulations now provide that a taxpayer may not rely on any written advice for the
avoidance of federal tax penalties or for promoting a strategy or investment unless the advice
complies with formal and extensive rules. Because the amount of time and effort, and therefore
the expense to the client, of writing a formal tax opinion will generally far exceed the benefit to
a client, we believe that it is neither sensible nor cost effective to our clients for us to routinely
structure any written advice regarding federal taxes. Therefore, any written communication from
a member of this firm regarding a federal tax issue, unless expressly stated otherwise in such
communication, is not intended, or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of
avoiding federal tax penalties, or for promoting, marketing or recommending to any other party
any matters addressed therein.
11. Document Retention Policy
Upon completion of the matter, we will return to you any of your documents or other property.
For various reasons, including avoiding unnecessary storage expenses, any documents or other
property that you do not want returned will be destroyed or otherwise disposed of in accordance
with our usual and standard document retention practices.
12. Questions
If you have any questions or are unclear about any aspect of our arrangements or representation,
please discuss your questions or concerns as soon as possible with the attorney primarily
responsible for your representation or matter. It is important that we proceed with our services to
you on a mutually clear and satisfactory basis.
Page 127
13. Client’s Right to Terminate
A client shall have the right at any time to terminate our services and representation if the firm
receives such request in writing. Such termination shall not, however, relieve the client of the
obligation to pay for all services rendered up through the date of such writing and costs or
expenses paid or incurred on behalf of the client.
14. Attorney’s Right to Decline, or Withdraw from Representation
We reserve the right to decline representation.
We reserve the right to withdraw from our representation if, among other things, the client
deliberately disregards or fails to honor the terms of engagement letter or retainer agreement,
including but not limited to, those terms pertaining to payment of the firm’s fees, disbursements
or expenses; the client insists upon taking action with which the lawyer has a fundamental
disagreement; the client insists upon presenting a claim or defense that is not warranted under
existing law and cannot be supported by good faith argument for an extension, modification or
reversal of existing law; the client fails to cooperate in the representation or otherwise renders the
representation unreasonably difficult for the lawyer to carry out the engagement effectively; the
client requests the firm, or any member thereof, to commit, aid, abet, or abide a criminal or
unlawful act or omission, or to violate any of the rules of professional responsibility applicable
to lawyers; the lawyer’s inability to work with co-counsel (from outside the firm) indicates that
the best interest of the client likely will be served by withdrawal; the client knowingly and
freely assents to termination of, or the firm’s withdrawal from, the engagement; the lawyer’s
mental or physical condition renders it difficult for the lawyer to carry out the representation
effectively; or, the existence of any fact or circumstance that would, in our view, render our
continuing representation unlawful or unethical, or, if necessary, would, in the view of the court
or other tribunal before which the client’s matter is pending, constitute good cause for withdrawal.
If we elect to withdraw or are granted permission by a court or other tribunal to withdraw, the
client will take all steps necessary to free us of any obligation to perform further, including the
execution of any documents necessary to complete our withdrawal, and we will be entitled to be
paid for all services rendered and costs and expenses paid or incurred on behalf of the client to
the date of withdrawal.
15. Arbitration or Mediation of Fee Disputes
Under Part 137 of the Rules of the Chief Administrator of the New York Courts, New York State
has established a procedure for arbitration (and in some cases mediation) of fee disputes between
attorneys and clients in civil matters involving an amount in issue that is neither less than
One Thousand Dollars nor more than Fifty Thousand Dollars, with some exceptions. When
applicable, a client has the right to require arbitration of disputes regarding legal fees. We will
provide you with additional information regarding this procedure if you so desire. You also
may obtain more information at the following website: PART 137. Fee Dispute Resolution Program
| NYCOURTS.GOV.

16. Business Associate Agreement
We agree to be bound by the terms of the Business Associate Agreement that is posted on our
website to the extent that: (a) you are a client that is a “covered entity” and/or “business associate”
under the administrative simplification provision of the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996 and its implementing regulations, including its “Privacy Rule,”
“Security Rule,” and “Breach Notification Rule,” as amended (collectively, “HIPAA”); and (b)
we are acting as your “business associate” under HIPAA.
Thank you.
