CORPORATION COUNSEL
MEMORANDUM
TO: Janet Graziano, Senior Finance Manager
FROM: Mindy Lloyd, Legal Assistant
DATE: June 9, 2021
RE: Revised Professional Services Contract with Valuation Research Counseling
Attached is a revised contract between the City and Barry Cunningham, Valuation
Research Counseling, for consultation and appraisal services for various tax abatement appeals.
The original contract dated October 1, 2020 stated payment for Mr. Cunningham’s services
would not exceed $20,000. Such is the nature of professional services, the quality and amount of
work is taking longer than anticipated, and there is more work to be done. The revised contract
increases the payment to not more than $150,000. The Office of Corporation Counsel on behalf
of the Assessing Department would like to submit the revised contract for the next scheduled
meeting of the Finance Committee on June 16, 2021.
