Re:		Adjustment to District Counsel Fee Structure Hypoluxo Haverhill Community Development District Our File: 467.01049
Dear Michael:

This firm's current fee structure has been in place since 2011. Although we are certainJymindful of the necessity to keep increases in the District s expenses, including the cost of legal services, to a m1rumum it has become necessary for us to adjust our hourly rates effective, April ] 2023 as follows:

Attorneys/Partners:
Attorneys/Associates:

$275.00 per hour
$225.00 per hour

Thi.s hourly fee structure will be adjusted on a periodic basis in connection with the District's budget process no later than every third Fiscal Year to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index published by the U. S. Department of Labor. The CPI has reflected a 31.8% increase since the year 2011 and we have not raised our fees during that time.

Mr. Michael McElligott January 31, 2023 Page2

Naturally should you have any questions or require any further information in support of this adjustment you should feel free to contact me at your convenience. As I think you are aware, we very much appreciate the opportunity to serve as District Counsel as well as your courtesy and cooperation with regard to the necessity of what we believe to be both infrequent and reasonable adjustments to our schedule of professional fees.

Very truly yours

SCC/jmp

Scott C. Cochran For the Firm
