[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Supervisors of the Township of Liberty as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 1-5-2004 by Ord. No. 2004-01]
Whenever any statute, regulation, law, court order, or other pronouncement permits the Township to recover attorney fees from an adverse party or another participant in an action or proceeding, and a specific amount of fees to be recovered is not specified in such statute, regulation, law, court order or other pronouncement, then the Township shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees. "Reasonable attorney fees" shall be calculated as:
A. 
The customary hourly amount charged by the Solicitor or other attorney providing representation to the Township multiplied by the number of hours (or parts thereof) devoted to the matter at hand; or
B. 
The customary fee charged to the Township by the Solicitor or the attorney providing legal services to the Township; or
C. 
The amount actually billed to the Township in the matter at hand.
The Township's Secretary is hereby authorized, upon request from the Board of Supervisors, Township Solicitor or any other attorney retained to represent the Township, to compile and certify the fees paid to an attorney in any particular case for use in recouping such fees from an adverse party or other participant in any proceeding. Nothing herein shall limit the Solicitor or attorney from preparing such a compilation and certification for presentation to any tribunal as evidence of reasonable attorney fees incurred in an action or proceeding.
