� � PART ONE - PHASE ONE LEGAL REVIEW 8� IMPLEMENTATION 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 legal review and implementation services for the REDWOOD CITY, CALIFORNIA, hereinafter referred to as Client. Legal Review. MCC has a full-time staff of attorneys available to provide legal services. Not only are our attorneys well-versed in the statutes and in areas of concern with regard to codification, they also have the benefit of knowledge gained through working with the many governing bodies within a given state. Even with the most diligent care possibly taken, it is di�cult to ensure compliance of a Code and its content over the long term. State statutes are revised continually and new ordinances may overlook previously codified provisions, creating conflicts within the volume. In order to ensure that a Code is adequately maintained, we recommend a complete legal review approximately every 5-15 years, depending upon the volume of ordinances passed and amount of statute changes since the last review. One of our aforementioned staff attorneys would personally conduct a comprehensive legal review, on a chapter-by- chapter basis; current ordinances (if any on hand) would be included in the review process. The review would identify obsolete provisions, conflicts and inconsistencies in conjunction with current state statutes, as well as conflicts within the Code itself. State law citations would be checked and necessary changes and additions would be noted in the Code volume for future supplementation. Should you desire a review for updating single chapters, muitiple chapters or just a State Law Reference review only, a quote can be provided. Costs and additional information are provided below. The Legal Review would provide recommendations as to the curing of internal conflicts, the possible deletion of obsolete or unnecessary provisions, and other "housecleaning" measures. These findings will be presented as a complete document to include the current Code text, recommendations and the legal research findings and will be viewed as footnotes and comments (see enclosed sample). This Legal Manuscript is provided in print and electronic form for review and evaluation. All recommendations are intended for the use of an attorney and are not to be considered legal advice to a layperson. Conference. MCC's attorney would be available to answer questions and discuss findings in the memorandum via teleconference, Webinar or, if desired, travel to provide an on-site conference to discuss all recommendations submitted. The discussion, which may encompass all interested officials, will help to expedite implementation of the approved recommendations and will assure that the revised Code accurately reflects what was decided. Legal ReSiew Fees'. The legal services provided by MCC staff attorneys are quoted based on the age, size, and content of your Code. We can break down the cost by chapter or multiple chapters, if desired. The cost(s) quoted will be impacted by the passage of time and/or by changes in the size or content of the volume. Implementation of Approved Recommendations. Once the Code memorandum has been reviewed, the changes and recommendations can be incorporated in the Code. We can then implement the decided changes or amendatory ordinances through republication. The cost for implementation once the legal review is completed is included on the quotation sheet. ' Sales Tax is additional where applicable. 3
