To: Mayor Butler <br />Orono Council Members <br />From: Jeanne A. Mabusth, joning Administrator <br />Date: February 21, 1985 <br />Subject: Planning For Maintenance of Municipal Code <br />IL +�. s LETING <br />FEB 2S 1985 <br />kn. - f, OF 0PQ.go <br />As Roger Jensen's letter notes, I }--ve not resolved the <br />issue of the maintenance of the municipr.l code. I had considered <br />purchasing the word processing discs containing the code from the <br />codifiers. If this was acceptable to the codifiers, the clerical <br />staff would be responsible for the pr •aration of all ordinance <br />amendments and merely the clerical ma.,itenance of the code. <br />In reviewing this proposal with Jo,— Lattin, the Office <br />Coordinator, she advised that this a zoach would create <br />additional demands on an already overburdened clerical staff. <br />Jensen's letter has outlined his firm's revision service. <br />Their fee will be based on staff time, not a "flat" fee. He <br />stro;igly recommends an annual revision program whether we do it <br />in house or not. <br />T recommend that we contract with Municipal Ordinance <br />Codifiers, Inc. for one year, providing for the first annual <br />revision and update of our code. The City can make a more <br />meaningful decision in the final resolution of the maintenance <br />issue after viewing the performance and bill of the codifier.. <br />V <br />
