Legal counsel shall receive for his or her services a retainer as fixed by the City Council, and a fee for all advisory services; the drafting of ordinances, contracts, and other documents; and all services rendered in connection with bond issues, or litigation to which the city or its officers or employees in their official capacity may be parties. For all such services not covered by the retainer, he or she shall receive such compensation as may be authorized by the City Council. Bonuses and extra compensation may be paid to the legal counsel for services rendered. Such a determination to pay bonuses and extra compensation to legal counsel for services rendered shall be made by the City Council and shall become part of the fixed compensation of legal counsel subject to the decision of the City Council to appropriate the funds set forth in the annual budget ordinance of the city.
