PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PROPOSAL
FOR SUPPLEMENTATION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Municipal Code Corporation will provide you and your Code subscribers the highest level of service. Our corporate
goal is to focus on the details of each need. MCC works as a team and many of our team members have been with
MCC for more than 10 years. They are creative, good communicators, ask questions and leverage their experience
to solve problems. The company was founded in 1951 and offers services to local governments nationwide. We
have published and supplemented more than 3,500 Codes. With more than 55 years of experience, MCC has fine-
tuned its operations to offer you the most efficient and affordable codification and publishing services available. From
creating or updating a Code to shipping a Supplement, MCC assures the fastest, most accurate delivery of
customized services. We work hard to maintain the high level of service our Clients have come to expect
Customer Service/Sales Approach
Our focus on service begins with our sales approach. The Sales Staff works with more than 3,500 accounts, one
person at a time. Our response time to inquiries is normally a couple minutes via e-mail (constantly monitored) or
within the half-hour for phone communication. Customers frequently send notes and emails reminding us how rare it
is in today's business to respond quickly; however, we make it a priority. MCC is a family-owned, medium sized
business, which means our clients receive a level of personal service unparalleled in the industry, but we have the
resources to handle complex custom issues. Our size also allows us to provide extra editorial and technological
resources an otherwise smaller firm can't offer. Our most valuable assets are our customers and our reputation. We
earn our reputation by offering helpful suggestions and solutions for your unique situation.
Legal/Editorial Approach
MCC's legal and editorial staff is organized in teams. This provides for consistency in editing, understanding and
reaching a level of quality. As the attorney communicates with you directly, the project needs are shared with the
entire editorial team. We employ 13 full-time staff attorneys, one of whom will research and analyze your legislation.
We encourage our legal team to become thoroughly familiar with your Code and your staff. This results in a rapport
between you and the team and assures a high degree of consistency, attention and professionalism in codifying and
updating your Code. In many states, we provide free, State Law Pamphlets to notify our Clients of changes in State
Laws affecting local governments.
Software Solutions
MCC focuses on technology that benefits our customers. We have created products that are affordable and meet the
ever-changing needs of our customers. MCC handles all electronic services in house. We offer all format/database
options (Word, WordPerfect, HTML, ASCII, RTF, PDF, XML), and all choices of mediums (floppy disks, CDs,
downloading from our website, e-mail etc.). We consider technology a "core competency" and are committed to
staying abreast of technology for your benefit. MCC provides specialized Government focused electronic products
that provide diverse access to your Code by citizens and departments. We provide web access via industry standard
browsers on PC and Mac platforms. Municode.com meets all Priority 1 checkpoints under the W3C's Web Content
Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 Specification (WCAG).
Employee Focus
MCC is a privately owned Corporation. We are financially sound, having been in business for more than 55 years.
MCC's President and Board of Directors are focused on improving MCC though investments in people, technology
and facilities. MCC recently has refurbished many offices and has a Health and Fitness Gym with showers and a
walking trail through our 10-acre campus. MCC also provides employees a Quarterly Production Reward system
based on the profits of the company. Through this incentive, our employees feel an ownership in the own company.
Subscriber Focus
Municipal Code Corporation has provided subscriber services for more than 20 years. Approximately 30,000 people
subscribe to one (or more) of our publications, and we have created a department dedicated to serving those
subscribers. Our Subscriber Distribution Team provides a complete range of services from ordering a Code or
3
Supplement to providing missing pages, answering questions, invoicing and insertion instructions. Orders may be
placed online on our website, via e-mail, over the phone, fax or regular mail.

Institute of Municipal Clerks and International Municipal Lawyers Association to provide services to their members.

SCOPE OF WORK
MUNICIPAL CODE CORPORATION, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Florida,
hereinafter referred to as MCC, hereby offers to perform supplementation services for the CITY OF SUNNY ISLES
BEACH, FLORIDA, hereinafter referred to as Client.
MCC will research, edit, index and publish (both in print and electronically) the finally enacted legislation Client
specifies for inclusion in the Code.
Material Included. All legislation of a general and permanent nature, passed in final form by the Client will be
included in the Code. MCC prefers the material in an editable electronic form, and will rely upon the electronic media
during the supplementation process when furnished electronically, unless otherwise instructed. However, materials
are not required to be furnished in electronic form and can be provided via fax or printed copy. All material received
by MCC will be acknowledged via e-mail or the postal service. Research of minutes can be provided as agreed upon
by the Client and MCC.
Omitted Material. The following legislation, which is not of a general and permanent nature, will be omitted from the
Code unless otherwise instructed by MCC and the Client: Appropriations; Franchises; Bonds; Vacating Streets and
Other Public Properties; Sales of Surplus Assets and Properties; Tax Levies; Special Elections; Contracts and
Agreements; Rezoning; Personnel Regulations; Annexations and Disannexations; Tax Anticipated Notes and
Issuances of Similar Debt Instruments; Appointments of Named Individuals to Positions within a Governmental Body;
Comprehensive Master Plans and Traffic Schedules and Fee Schedules (however, Fee Schedules can be provided
for an additional fee - quotation upon request).
Ordinance Research Tools. To facilitate finding sample provisions during this project, MCC will provide the Client
with two (2) subscriptions to the Multiple Code Search Service. This will allow the Client to provide two (2) people
with access to the search software on our website for full state searching (see Additional Services). MCC will also
provide samples of provisions, as requested during the project.
Editorial Work. The Supplement editorial team, consisting of a legal editor, proofreader and indexer, will review the
legislation to determine proper placement within the Code. MCC will adhere to the structure and style contained in
the ordinance unless changes are required to ensure consistency in the Code. The team will also update the Table of
Contents, catchlines, reference tables and index. Additionally, an instruction sheet will be created to advise how to
insert and remove pages. A Checklist of Up-To-Date pages will be created to indicate the most recent source from
which each page in the Code is derived. Editorial notes will be appended to sections that require additional
explanation. A separate Supplement will be created for any pamphlets derived from the Code.
Printed Supplements. Amendments to the printed Code occur in the form of Printed Supplement pages that are
issued as replacement pages on acid-free paper. Printed Supplements include updated Table of Contents, Code
Comparative Table, index and text pages. A Supplement for each printed Code is included in the base page rate.
We are pleased to announce that Mac Papers is now chain-of-custody certified with the Forest Stewardship Council
(FSC), Sustainable Forest Initiative (SFI) and Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes (PEFC).
Electronic Updates. Amendments to the electronic version of the Code (CD, Internet, Folio, PDF, etc.) can be
provided on their own schedule, or accompany Printed Supplements. Electronic Updates appear in the proper place
and a fully searchable, complete Code will be delivered. Electronic Updates are included in the base page rate and
clients who receive both Electronic Updates and Printed Supplements receive the Printed Supplements at no charge.
Schedule. Amendments are provided on a schedule designed to meet the needs of the Client. The schedule can be
weekly, biweekly, monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, tri-annual, semi-annual, annual or upon authorization. Electronic
Updates can occur on a more frequent schedule than Printed Supplements.
Additional Provisions. MCC can add additional provisions (e.g. charter, zoning, land development regulations) into
the Code through the Supplement service. They will be included in a Supplement or as a separate project and
appropriate updates will be made to the Code and tables. Additional divider tabs or binders will be provided as
necessary. MCC will advise of all options and applicable costs.

electronic Table of Contents. Once the posted ordinances are incorporated into the Code, they are removed from the
website. We recommend the Client send in legislation in editable format via email for inclusion in the Code. This
allows the legislation to be searchable on the Internet site along with the Code.
Delivery. Printed Supplements to the Code and pamphlets, if ordered, will be delivered in bulk to the Client, unless
Client chooses to utilize MCC's Distribution Services. The website will be updated upon shipment of the printed
supplement or as Electronic Updates are delivered.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
The Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM:
Jane A. Hines, CMC, City Clerk
DATE:
9/16/20 I 0
RE:
Resolution Approving an Agreement with Municipal Code Corporation
for Supplementation Services of the City's Code of Ordinances
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached Resolution approving
an Agreement with Municipal Code Corporation for supplementation services of the
City's Code of Ordinances.
REASONS:
The City entered into an agreement with General Code Publishers on September 20, 200 I
via Resolution No. 2001-365 for codification services, which expires on September 30,
2010. Staff has been looking into other companies and received proposals from General
Code, Municipal Code Corporation, and American Legal Publishing Corporation. All
three companies run about the same amount of money between $18 and $20 per page,
single column. After reviewing the proposals, staff would like to go with Municipal Code
Corporation as it is a local entity used by most of the municipalities in the State of
Florida, faster service, compatible with our current system, more user friendly, and the
hyper links are easier to read.
The attached agreement with Municipal Code Corporation for supplementation services
includes researching, editing, indexing, and publishing in print and electronically the
enacted legislation for inclusion in the Code. It is for a period of three (3) years and will
be automatically renewed from year to year provided that each party may cancel or
change this Agreement with sixty (60) days written notice.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding is available in the City Clerk's Budget in Account No. 10-516-5475.
