The city attorney shall be appointed by the city council to hold office at and during the pleasure of the city council at a fixed retainer for ordinary services to be determined by the city council from time to time by resolution or motion or by adoption of budget. For extraordinary services, such as the bringing or defending of legal proceedings, whether civil or criminal, or the preparation and supervision of bond proceedings, street work proceedings, annexation or exclusion proceedings or similar services, he shall receive extra compensation, from time to time, in an amount to be determined by the city council. Prior to adoption of the budget for each fiscal year, the city attorney shall submit a rate applicable to such extraordinary services for such year. The city attorney shall maintain and make available, if requested, records to enable the determination of the fair value of such ordinary and extraordinary services. Such extraordinary services shall be commenced only on authority of the mayor, city council or city manager. The city attorney shall notify the city council, in writing, or orally for entry into the minutes, of any conflict of interest, either direct or indirect, he may have concerning any matter coming before the city council or such commission.
