Pursuant to Section 2254.102(e) of the Texas Government Code, as amended (the "Contingent Fee Act"), the District is required to provide written notice to the public stating certain criteria in connection with the engagement of legal counsel to be paid in accordance with a contingent fee legal services agreement (the "Contract"). This notice is given in accordance with the Contingent Fee Act. This notice relates to the engagement of McCall, Parkhurst & Horton L.L.P. ("Outside Counsel") as disclosure counsel to the District. The District is pursuing the issuance and sale of municipal securities and may pursue other debt obligations from time to time. In that regard, the District requires the representation of Outside Counsel for the purpose of providing legal representation to the District in the area of federal securities law pertaining to the issuance of such public securities, and for achieving an efficient and lawful issuance of municipal securities and other debt obligations by the District from time to time. Outside Counsel is a well -qualified law firm with more than 100 years of experience and has represented numerous entities similar to the District in matters relevant to the Contract. The District has not engaged Outside Counsel for previous matters. The District cannot adequately perform the legal services with attorneys and supporting personnel of the District because the District does not employ in-house counsel and, due to the state law complexity and federal law intricacies relating to the issuance of public securities, engagement of Outside Counsel is necessary for the issuance of municipal securities. The District has found that the attorneys or law firms with experience in matters relevant to the Contract do not perform their legal services on an hourly basis; rather, such attorneys and law firms are engaged and are paid only to the extent such attorney or law firm completes the matters relevant to the Contract on behalf of the District. It is in the best interest of the residents and taxpayers and/or ratepayers of the District for the District to engage Outside Counsel on a contingency basis because of the nature of the transaction for which the legal services will be obtained, and, moreover, the District wishes to preserve its right to discontinue the transaction that is the subject of the Contract for any reason (financial or otherwise) at no expense to the District. attachedI certify that the agenda of the items was removed by me from f ' t Hall •r. • • day of in oat Warne/Tittle
