GovTech Top 100 Innovators <br /> Annually since 2016! <br /> <br /> 4 <br /> <br /> <br />LEGAL REVIEW SCOPE OF SERVICES <br />During the Legal Review process, the attorney assigned to your project will examine every Title, Chapter and <br />Section of the Code to ensure that it is free from conflicts and inconsistencies and conforms to the laws of the <br />State of Illinois. Your Municode attorney will be available to consult with you and your staff at any time during <br />the Legal Review process, which is outlined below. <br /> <br />Attorney Analysis and Review of Material. Our legal team will review the most current Code version to ensure <br />conformity with state statutes and to identify any areas of possible legal concern. The review will also determine <br />if there are any inconsistencies or conflicts within the legislation itself. Ordinances enacted, or added, <br />subsequent to the established cut-off date for the Legal Review, or items not contemplated within the scope of <br />service, may be included later at an agreed upon page rate. <br />References. We will notate any State Law References within the Code that need to be updated in the <br />memorandum. <br /> <br />Legal Memorandum. We will provide you with a user-friendly Legal Memorandum containing all of our analyses <br />and recommendations. This memorandum will reflect our attorney’s Legal Review and will provide you with <br />recommendations to remove conflicts and inconsistencies; conform to State Law, when appropriate; and ensure <br />compliance with your charter (if applicable). This approach facilitates collaboration and dissemination among <br />departments, thus making the process as easy for you as possible . Our goal is to make the Legal Review <br />process simple and smooth for you. <br /> <br />Conference. Within 30 days of your receipt of the Legal Memorandum we will conduct a conference, via <br />telephone or webinar, to review the Legal Memorandum and our recommendations. All interested personnel <br />may be included, but your attorney and clerk are essential. Issues discovered during the legal analysis will be <br />discussed at the conference, with the goal of the conference being to come to agreement on any required <br />changes. Your attorney has the final decision-making authority for resolution of issues brought up at the <br />conference or noted in the Legal Memorandum. <br /> <br />Implementation. Corrections to the Code can be integrated via individual ordinances with Municode issuing a <br />supplement to the existing Code; however, if changes are extensive, republishing the entire Code may be more <br />cost effective. An estimate for republication can be provided once the Legal Review is completed and the extent <br />of changes is known. If the issues are too numerous or complex, a full recodification may be recommended. <br />Should recodification be recommended, the expense incurred in the Legal Review may be credited toward its <br />cost. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />4,100+ <br />Municipal Clients <br />70 Years <br />Serving Municipalities <br /> <br />200 Million <br />Citizens using our solutions <br />
