Due to Increases or Decreases in Caseload. The City and the Attorney shall, at the option of either party, renegotiate this contract if there is a significant increase or decrease in the number of cases assigned. “Significant” shall mean a change of more than ten percent (10%) in the number of cases assigned. If cases are estimated to approach or exceed two hundred (200) cases per year or fifty (50) cases per quarter, the parties may renegotiate this contract to increase case coverage and compensation to the Attorney. At the request of either party, the City and the Attorney will periodically review case assignment trends, requests for additional credits and any other matters needed to determine contract compliance or necessary contract modifications. The Attorney shall promptly notify the City when quarterly caseloads require use of overflow or conflict counsel to assure that cases assigned to the Attorney remain within the limits adopted in this contract and comply with state and local standards.
