This is done both <br />through standard publication and on-line formats. Previous contracts <br />with the City have provided continuous on-line access of legal research <br />for all City Attorney Office staff and the Police Department. In <br />addition, LexisNexis has been a primary provider of legal publications <br />and materials for other City Departments as well, <br /> <br />LexisNexis has provided these services to the City for the previous three <br />years and is the only publisher of several of the required publications. <br />The recommended action will allow for continuous service to the various <br />City Departments. In addition, a single agreement across departments <br />improves the City's overall coordination and use of legal materials. <br /> <br />251-1 <br />
