. '-" '-' We request that a copy of each ordinance be forwarded upon final enactment. Upon receipt of the ordinances, we will record the material in a permanent file and hold for inclusion in the next Supplement. We begin the publication process upon receipt of sufficient legislation for inclusion in the Code, generally at least two ordinances. Many municipalities choose to proceed with the publication of Supplements: (A) In accordance with an established schedule; (B) Upon receipt of specific authorization to proceed; or (C) In accordance with specific criteria determined by the City. The MCC editor assigned to your Code will review and incorporate pertinent legislation, with pages ofthe Code printed or reprinted to replace pages affected by the new legislation. Historical citations are included following amended sections and the index and tables are updated. An instruction sheet is included with each Supplement, denoting proper removal of obsolete pages and insertion of new pages. The cost for publishing Supplements is on a straight per page basis with costs based upon the amount of legislation included in the Supplement, with no annual or minimum charge. Initially, the number of copies of Supplements corresponded with the number of Codes printed. As needs change, the number of copies of Supplements can be adjusted. Should the City choose to receive the Code electronically (see below), MCC can provide the Supplements electronically on a schedule designed to meet the City's needs, e.g., quarterly or bimonthly. Hard copy Supplements could be printed less frequently or on the same schedule. The electronic media will reflect the entire Code as updated through the most recent Supplement. Incoming Ordinances. MCC would like to receive your ordinances via e-mail (ords@mail.municode.com) or on disk rather than printed copy. Primary benefits for the City would be the avoidance of copying material and the expense of paper and mailing materials. If you send your ordinances via e-mail, you will get our confirmation of receipt back via e-mail. III. ELECTRONIC MEDIA MCC has many electronic services available to municipalities. We can provide the Code in Word, WordPerfect or HTML format; the Code can also be integrated with the information retrieval software program, Folio BoundVIEWS. Folio is available for your electronic minutes, as well as LaserFiche for your minutes and documents. We also provide an Internet service and list over 680 Codes, Minutes, and other publications on our home page (htto://www.municode.com). IV. REPRINTS OF SPECIFIC CHAPTERS Any portion of the Code can be reprinted in pamphlet form for separate sale and distribution. The looseleaf pamphlets are designed to be updated in the same manner as the Code when the chapters are affected in future supplements. The reprint pamphlets are billed in accordance with our current reprint rates.
