GovTech Top 100 Innovators <br /> Annually since 2016! <br /> <br /> <br /> 1 <br /> <br />LETTER OF INTEREST <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />November 22, 2021 <br /> <br />Ms. Anna Carlson <br />City Clerk <br />City of Orono, MN <br />2750 Kelley Parkway <br />Orono, MN 55356 via email: acarlson@ci.orono.mn.us <br /> <br /> <br />Ms. Carlson: <br /> <br />Thank you for your interest in Municode’s Legal Review services! To ensure that your Code remains legally <br />sound and accurate, we recommend a Legal Review or complete recodification of the Code every 5 to 10 years. <br />Because recodification is an expensive and time-consuming process, some of our clients choose a Legal <br />Review as a less expensive and faster way to achieve a similar result. <br /> <br />A Legal Review provides a snapshot of possible conflicts and inconsistencies within the Code. During the Legal <br />Review process, one of our attorneys will conduct a chapter-by-chapter legal analysis of the Code to identify <br />obsolete provisions, eliminate internal conflicts and inconsistencies and ensure conformity with State Law. We <br />will provide a Legal Memorandum outlining the findings of our analysis and schedule a conference to discuss <br />Municode’s recommendations to resolve any issues of concern. Our staff includes a large team of in-house <br />experienced codification attorneys who have completed hundreds of codification and recodification projects <br />nationwide. <br /> <br />With over 70 years of experience, Municode is the oldest and most trusted codifier in the nation. We currently <br />provide codification services to over 4,000 municipalities throughout the United States and host over 3,700 <br />municipal codes online via our code hosting platform, MunicodeNEXT. We invite you to visit our corporate <br />website at https://www.municode.com/ to explore our full suite of government services. <br /> <br />In addition to codification services, we provide a “circle of governan ce” that offers website design, <br />meetings management and document archival tools in one seamless experience. Customers who trust <br />Municode with their online codes, meetings software, and municipal website enjoy a unified search engine and <br />integration of the Meetings, Web, and Code Hosting platforms. From the Meetings platform, agendas and <br />minutes can automatically be uploaded to the website and ordinances can be sent to Municode for codification <br />with permanent links created within the code for the ordinances and the specific meeting from which the <br />legislation was adopted, via our OrdBank service. <br /> <br />Please contact Legal Account Manager Lafaye Kiely (lkiely@municode.com; 850-692-7118) if you have any <br />questions. Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal! <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Steffanie W. Rasmussen <br />Vice President of Client Services <br />Phone: 800-262-2633 ext. 1148 <br />steff@municode.com <br />
