Blythe, Clerk x2130 (under separate cover) TELEPHONE NUMBER Hillsboroug]a 732-8181 Chapel Hill 968-4501 Mebane 227-2031 Durham 688-7331 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PURPOSE: To present a proposal for codification of all the County ordinances. BACKGROUND: All County ordinances are kept in two large volumes. When amendments are approved, the ordinances are updated with the new material. This has caused the volumes to become enormous and hard to follow, with all the superseded information therein. Codification of the ordinances will involve a complete review of all the County ordinances by a staff of attorneys . This is done to eliminate all conflicts and inconsistencies between the ordinances and State and federal laws. Once reviewed, all inconsistencies will be reviewed with the County Attorney, County Manager and County Clerk. The code will then be set in type and thoroughly proofread for errors . They will be delivered in D-ring binders, and available on CD-ROM or disk. The County ordinances will reside on the Municipal Code home page and be available on the Internet . The entire procedure is outlined in the proposal from Municipal Code Corporation (MCC) that has been provided under separate cover with this agenda. 2 The base cost for codification of general ordinances will be $9, 500 . The base cost for codification of land development ordinances will be $8 , 800 . Additionally, the County may choose to obtain additional services in the future from MCC, as outlined on the quotation sheet . Payments to MCC required in FY 1996-97 total $5, 000. These funds are already available in the FY 1996-97 budget . The balance of funds for completion of the codification proposal will be included in the recommended FY 1997-98 budget . RECObDERMATION: The Manager recommends that the Board approve the codification proposal from Municipal Code Corporation, and authorize the Chair to sign, subject to final review by the County Attorney.

After typesetting has been completed, MCC will submit one set of proofs to the County for review. The County may make word changes on the proofs without charge. However, should the County make changes or deletions constituting more than one page of type, the County will be charged at the excess per page rate. It shall be the duty of the County to return the proofs, with the changes indicated thereon within forty-five (45) days from the date of their receipt. If proofs are not returned within forty-five (45) days, and no notice to the contrary is received by MCC, it will be assumed that no changes are to be made. MCC will then proceed to print the Code and no changes shall thereafter be allowed. Should the County request to review the proofs beyond forty-five (45) days but fails to return them within one year, the contract balance shall become due and payable. Upon mutual agreement regarding time and compensation, MCC shall update the proofs with subsequent enactments before delivery of the printed Code. MCC guarantees typographical correctness. Errors attributable to MCC will be corrected throughout the term of the contract, without charge to the County. MCC's liability for all services shall extend only to the correcting of errors in the Code or future supplements, not to any acts or occurrences as a result of such errors, and only so long as a contract is in effect. (9) INDEX. After return of the proofs, but before printing, a comprehensive, general index for the Code will be prepared. All sections are indexed under major subjects with appropriate section citations. Columnar citations are used to enhance ease of reference. 3 (10) PRINTING AND BINDING. When the proofs are returned by the County, MCC will proceed with printing and binding the Code in accordance with the following: a) Copies. The number of copies desired by the County, will be printed on 50 lb. white offset paper. b) Page format. The page size will be consistent with the format chosen by the County: 8-1/2 x 11 inches, double column (samples attached). c) Type size. Various type sizes are available for text. MCC will publish the Code in a ten-point type on a twelve-point line unless otherwise specified by the County. Notice of change must be given to MCC prior to notice of completion of the editorial work so that the impact upon cost can be determined and discussed. d) Tabular matter.

The software affords easy "exportation" of language to your word processing, software for drafting and amendatory purposes. Utilizing your existing word processing program eliminates learning new editing commands and allows new ordinances to follow existing procedures. Socrates is available for DOS and Windows. b) ISMS. ISYS is the program from which Socrates is derived. It is a commercially available text retrieval software which instantly locates any document(s) containing references to a word, phrase, or combination thereof. It can be used on any/all files you designate, not just the Code (including minutes, letters, invoices, etc). Additionally ISYS supports over 25 different word processing programs. ISYS is available for DOS and Windows. c) Folio VIEWS. Folio VIEWS offers a powerful, context-sensitive, on-line help system for immediate assistance to inquiries. The customized menus offer robust functionality and speedy start-up access to your information. Every word in an infobase is indexed. Type in a word, a phrase or a query and watch the Query Map display the search results. With a click of the mouse, users can jump to the points of information they need. Information retrieval capabilities include standard boolean search operators, phrase searching, proximity searching and word stemming to include word variations and synonyms in searches. Folio VIEWS is available for DOS, Windows and Macintosh. (13) SUPPORT AND TRAINING. MCC offers a generous support and training policy. Telephone support is available during working hours by calling our toll free number, 1-800- 262-CODE. Our personnel can usually resolve problems in one phone call. Phone support is free of charge. While MCC does not physically install the software, our support personnel are available for consultation during the installation. On-site training is also available. (14) INTERNET CONNECTION. Should the County desire to place the Code on the Internet, it may be included on MCC's home page (http://www.municode.com).

For multiple standalone users, a separate copy of the software is required for each workstation. For LAN installations, ISYS automatically monitors "concurrent usage" - i.e. the software will permit up to the licensed number of simultaneous users to be active at any time. This approach offers obvious and substantial savings over traditional "workstation licensing" systems. It also eliminates the need for continual auditing of license usage by network administrators, as the licensed limit can not be inadvertently exceeded.
