REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />JANUARY 16, 2007 <br />TITLE: <br />AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE LEGAL <br />PUBLICATIONS, SUBSCRIPTIONS <br />AND ON-LINE RESEARCH SERVICES <br />WITH LEXISNEXIS, INC. <br />CITY MANAGER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />^ As Recommended <br />^ As Amended <br />^ Ordinance on 1~' Reading <br />^ Ordinance on Intl Reading <br />^ Implementing Resolution <br />^ Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and <br />Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with LexisNexis, Inc. for <br />legal publications, subscriptions, and on-line research services in an <br />annual amount not to exceed $60,000. <br />Various City Departments are required to have the ability to access the <br />latest legal reference materials on an ongoing basis. 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 />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 />251-1 <br />
