Thank you for speaking with Danielle Galvin, Vice President of Marketing. We are pleased to enclose our
professional services proposal for recodification of """`" Code of Ordinances.
In 1998, MCC recodified the City's Code and over the next eight years published eight supplements that
incorporated new ordinances into the Code. While supplementation includes a comparison of new
ordinances with existing provisions of the Code, recodification includes a legal review of the Code and new
ordinances against current state statutes. This detailed review points out conflicts, inconsistencies and
obsolete provisions with current state statutes as well as conflicts within the Code itself. The attorney who
performed the codification in 1998 is still on staff and will conduct the recodification. Her familiarity with the
Clermont Code as well as Florida statutes provides an invaluable base of knowledge and allows her to start
the recodification process steps ahead of anyone else - an advantage that saves the City time and money
and produces the most outstanding product in the industry.
MCC still utilizes the team approach in keeping your new code up to date through our supplement service.
We assign one team of editors, indexers, computer technicians and proofreaders to your Code. MCC staff
is always available to answer questions, make suggestions and solve problems concerning the Code. As
shown in the past, Dale Barstow, Vice President of Sales, is available to meet with the City as needed to
discuss problems, new services and advancements in technology that will benefit the City.
The enclosed materials include, in addition to our proposal, a list of our clients and several brochures. If
you have any questions concerning our proposal or desire additional information, please contact Danielle
Galvin or me.
We have recently signed contracts with or published Codes for Southwest Ranches, Bay County, Monroe
County, Baker County, Mascotte, Bronson, Oviedo, West Park, Bonita Springs, Layton, Lake Wales,
McIntosh, Eatonville, Lauderdale Lakes, Center Hill, Glen Ridge, Doral, Highland County and Stuart in our
state. We appreciate every opportunity to be of service to the City of Clermont.
If you have any questions or desire additional information, please call and speak with me, Faye Creel, or
Dennis Heller, our Sales Representatives. We will also be happy to schedule a conference call or webinar
with all interested parties, or meet with you personally.
Sincerely,
Danielle Galvin
Vice President -Marketing

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PROPOSAL
FOR RECODIFICATION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Municipal Code Corporation will provide you and your Code subscribers the highest level of service. Our
corporate goal is to focus on the details of each need. MCC works as a team and many of our team
members have been with MCC for more than 10 years. They are creative, good communicators, ask
questions and leverage their experience to solve problems. The company was founded in 1951 and offers
services to local governments nationwide. We have published and supplemented more than 3,500 Codes.
With more than 55 years of experience, MCC has fine-tuned its operations to offer you the most efficient
and affordable codification and publishing services available. From creating or updating a Code to
shipping a Supplement, MCC assures the fastest, most accurate delivery of customized services. We work
hard to maintain the high level of service our Clients have come to expect
Customer ServicelSales Approach
Our focus on service begins with our sales approach. The Sales Staff works with more than 3,500
accounts, one person at a time. Our response time to inquiries is normally a couple minutes via a-mail
(constantly monitored) or within the half-hour for phone communication. Customers frequently send notes
and emails reminding us how rare it is in today's business to respond quickly; however, we make it a
priority. MCC is afamily-owned, medium sized business, which means our clients receive a level of
personal service unparalleled in the industry, but we have the resources to handle complex custom issues.
Our size also allows us to provide extra editorial and technological resources an otherwise smaller firm
can't offer. Our most valuable assets are our customers and our reputation. We earn our reputation by
offering helpful suggestions and solutions for your unique situation.
Legal/Editorial Approach
MCC's legal and editorial staff is organized in teams. This provides for consistency in editing,
understanding and reaching a level of quality. As the attorney communicates with you directly, the project
needs are shared with the entire editorial team. We employ 13 full-time staff attorneys, one of whom will
research and analyze your legislation. We encourage our legal team to become thoroughly familiar with
your Code and your staff. This results in a rapport between you and the team and assures a high degree
of consistency, attention and professionalism in codifying and updating your Code. In many states, we
provide free, State Law Pamphlets to notify our Clients of changes in State Laws affecting local
governments.
Software Solutions
MCC focuses on technology that benefits our customers. We have created products that are affordable
and meet the ever-changing needs of our customers. MCC handles all electronic services in house. We
offer all format/database options (Word, WordPerfect, HTML, ASCII, RTF, PDF, XML), and all choices of
mediums (floppy disks, CDs, downloading from our website, a-mail etc.). We consider technology a "core
competency" and are committed to staying abreast of technology for your benefit. MCC provides
specialized Government focused electronic products that provide diverse access to your Code by citizens
and departments. We provide web access via industry standard browsers on PC and Mac platforms. Our
website will be fully ADA compliant by fall 2006.
Employee Focus
MCC is a privately owned Corporation. We are financially sound, having been in business for more than
55 years. MCC's President and Board of Directors are focused on improving MCC though investments in
people, technology and facilities. MCC recently has refurbished many offices and has a Health and Fitness
4
Gym with showers and a walking trail through our 10-acre campus. MCC also provides employees a
Quarterly Production Reward system based on the profits of the company. Through this incentive, our
employees feel an ownership in the own company.
Subscriber Focus
Municipal Code Corporation has provided subscriber services for more than 20 years. Approximately
30,000 people subscribe to one (or more) of our publications, and we have created a department dedicated
to serving those subscribers. Our Subscriber Distribution Team provides a complete range of services
from ordering a Code or Supplement to providing missing pages, answering questions, invoicing and
insertion instructions. Orders may be placed online on our website, via a-mail, over the phone, fax or
regular mail.
Association Support
MCC supports many Clerk, Attorney, Municipal and County Associations, additionally we partner with the
International Institute of Municipal Clerks and International Municipal Lawyers Association to provide
services to their members. Our Vice President of Sales, Dale Barstow, is also the President of the
Municipal Clerks Education Foundation. All of this support is motivated by our desire to "give back" to the
people who have made us successful, as well as our goal to stay close to our Customers. MCC is keenly
interested in assisting you with your needs and we feel our focus, company and personnel perfectly match
your goals. We appreciate your interest and look forward to your review of the rest of our information.

SCOPE OF WORK
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 codification services for the CITY
OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA, hereinafter referred to as Client.
MCC will research, edit, index and publish (both in print and electronically) the finally enacted legislation
Client specifies for inclusion in the Code.
Material Included. All legislation of a general and permanent nature, passed in final form by the Client, as
of the cut off date established by the MCC attorney (usually after conference), will be included in the new
Code. MCC prefers the material in an editable electronic form, and will rely upon the electronic media
during the codification process when furnished electronically, unless otherwise instructed. However,
materials are not required to be furnished in electronic form and can be provided via fax or printed copy.
All material received by MCC will be acknowledged via a-mail or the postal service. Research of minutes
can be provided as agreed upon by the Client and MCC.
Omitted Material. The following legislation, which is not of a general and permanent nature, will be
omitted from the Code unless otherwise instructed by MCC and the Client: Appropriations; Franchises;
Bonds; Vacating Streets and Other Public Properties; Sales of Surplus Assets and Properties; Tax Levies;
Special Elections; Contracts and Agreements; Rezoning; Personnel Regulations; Annexations and
Disannexations; Tax Anticipated Notes and Issuances of Similar Debt Instruments; Appointments of
Named Individuals to Positions within a Governmental Body; Comprehensive Master Plans and Traffic
Schedules.
Ordinance Research Tools. To facilitate finding sample provisions during this project, MCC will provide
the Client with two (2) subscriptions to the Multiple Code Search Service. This will allow the Client to
provide two (2) people with access to the search software on our website for full state searching (see
Additional Services). MCC will also provide samples of provisions, as requested during the project.
Supplementing Existing Code during Codification. MCC can provide Supplementation Services,
electronic options and web hosting for the existing Code while the codification project is underway. MCC
can update the existing Code on any schedule the Client desires. MCC can also provide Electronic
Updates in lieu of Printed Supplements during this project. All service options are described in greater
detail in the Supplement Service portion of the proposal.
Legal and Editorial Work. MCC will assign a team, consisting of a lead attorney, editor, proofreader and
indexer, to the project. All recommendations by this legal team are intended for use by the Client's
attorney and should not be considered legal advice. This legal team is responsible for the following:
• Research and Review. MCC will research all legislation submitted by the Client against the State
Constitution, State Law, the Charter (if the Client has adopted one), as well as inconsistencies and
conflicts within the legislation itself. Zoning and Land Use provisions will be reviewed only if
included in the Code. Ordinances enacted, or added, subsequent to the date of this agreement, or
items not contemplated within the scope of service, may be added at the additional page rate.
Structure. MCC will suggest a structure and organization for the Code and provide a Table of
Contents indicating said structure. MCC will assume the legislative structure is to remain intact
unless discussed with our attorney and approved by the Client.
• Legal Manuscript. MCC will submit a legal manuscript for the Client's review. This manuscript will
reflect the MCC attorney's legal review and will contain the substantive provisions of legislation
provided by the Client and with proposed changes. Recommendations by MCC's attorney will be
provided and discussed with the Client. The legal manuscript will be provided in electronic form; a
printed copy can be provided upon request.
6
Conference. MCC will conduct a conference, either in person, via telephone or webinar, to review
the legal manuscript. All persons interested in the project may be included; but the Client's attorney
and Clerk are essential. Issues discovered during the legal research will be discussed at the
conference, with agreed upon solutions noted in the legal manuscript. The Client's attorney has the
final decision making authority for resolution of issues brought up at the Conference or "footnoted"
in the Legal Manuscript.
• References. MCC will provide State Law references within the Code. Additional references, such
as editor's notes, reserved sections, and referenced materials, will be provided as appropriate.
• Editing. MCC will edit the Code to reflect proper grammar and stylistic consistency. MCC will not
reword any provision that affects the substantive intent of the Code, unless the Client approves the
revision; however, MCC may make non-substantive revisions to improve readability.
• Proofreading. MCC will proofread the Code prior to submitting proofs. The text will be reviewed for
sense, structure and to ensure the implementation of the decisions by the Client and MCC's
attorney are correct.
• Format Options. MCC will review format options, such as font type (e.g. Arial, New Century School
Book, Times New Roman) font size (9, 10, 11, 12 point) page layout (single or double column),
graphics appearance and placement, with the Client. We will help you choose a format that results
in a professional document that is easily researched. Sample page formats will be provided for
review and selection.
• Index and Tables. MCC will create a subject matter index and all tables (Contents, State Law
Reference, Prior Code Comparison, Ordinance Disposition, etc.) for the Code as necessitated by
the materials. Additional tables required by the Client can be created.
• Graphics. MCC will add the graphics when provided by the Client in a usable format and insert
them into the printed and electronic versions of the Code.
• Adopting Ordinance. MCC will provide an Adopting Ordinance upon completion of the project.
Proofs. After editing and proofreading, proofs incorporating solutions captured in the legal manuscript will
be delivered to the Client. The proofs are an updated legal manuscript indicating agreed upon changes as
decided by the Client. The proofs will have been edited and proofread, though they will not contain all of
the tables and the subject matter index and will not be in final form for printing. A sample of the finished
Code format will also be provided.
MCC guarantees typographical correctness. Any errors attributable to MCC will be corrected at no charge
during the term of this Agreement. MCC's liability for all services shall extend only to correcting the errors
in the Code and subsequent updates, not to any acts or occurrences as a result of such errors, and only as
long as the contract is in effect.
Delivery of Code.
Printing and Binding. The number of copies selected by the Client will be printed in the chosen
format and delivered to the Client. Color printing is available at an additional charge. Standard
binding for the Code is three-post, expandable, black, leatherette binders with gold, silver or white
stamping. Alternate binders, such as D-ring or polyvinyl, are available. Binder colors can be
reviewed at www.municode.com under the Products link. A Seal or logo can be added in addition
to the text on the front and spine of the binder, if desired. Divider tabs for each major section of the
Code and Index are also provided.
7
Reprints or Pamphlets. Selected Chapters, or combinations of Chapters, may be reprinted for
distribution. Pamphlets are provided separately, based upon then current price list. They can be
provided with binders, paper covers, tabs and all other standard publishing options. MCC can also
provide these to subscribers. See Distribution under Additional Services.
Electronic Code. The Code will be furnished in any electronic medium and format (Internet, CD-ROM,
Word, WordPerfect, Text or RTF, PDF, or integrated with search engine, etc.) selected by the Client.
Attached is a current list of options; an updated list of options will be provided upon shipment of proofs so
selections can be made from then current services.
Client Responsibility. The Client agrees to:
• Amendatory Legislation. The Client shall immediately forward all adopted legislation (including
amendments, the Charter, Special Acts and other pertinent rules and regulations having the effect
of law) to be codified on a continual basis. Submission should be timely and can be sent in
electronic, fax or printed form.
• Review. The Client shall review, modify and/or approve the proposed Table of Contents and
organization of the Code, page format, font type and size, approve number of copies to be printed,
binder colors and choice of electronic format.
• Participation of Attorney. Ensure the Client's Attorney and other interested personnel attend and
participate in the project, including on-site or teleconference and review of the proofs.
• Submission of data. The Client shall provide data, graphics and tables of the highest reproducible
quality, preferably in their original, electronic format. Provide a black and white line art seal or logo
for the binders, if desired.
• Proofs. The Client will review and return the proofs within 45 days of receipt. Changes to the text
should be marked directly on the proofs. Please note delaying the return of proofs can delay the
project due to the amount of additional legislation passed subsequent to submission of proofs.
Changes not discussed at conference, deletions and additions to the proofs may result in a proof
update fee. Should the Client fail to return proofs within five (5) months, the balance of the contract
shall become due and payable. Additional copies of proofs can be provided upon request.

job as established with the Client.
Editorial Work. The Supplement editorial team, consisting of a legal editor, proofreader and indexer, will
review the legislation to determine proper placement within the Code. MCC will adhere to the structure and
style contained in the ordinance unless changes are required to ensure consistency in the Code. The team
will also update the Table of Contents, catchlines, reference tables and index. Additionally, an instruction
sheet will be created to advise how to insert and remove pages. A Checklist of Up-To-Date pages will be
created to indicate the most recent source from which each page in the Code is derived. Editorial notes
will be appended to sections that require additional explanation. A separate Supplement will be created for
any pamphlets derived from the Code.
Printed Supplements. Amendments to the printed Code occur in the form of Printed Supplement pages
that are issued as replacement pages. Printed Supplements include updated Table of Contents, Code
Comparative Table, index and text pages. A Supplement for each printed Code is included in the base

Supplements or Electronic Updates on our website. The ordinances are posted as part of the Preliminaries
and also show in the electronic Table of Contents. Once the posted ordinances are incorporated into the
Code, they are removed from the website. We recommend the Client send in legislation in editable format
via email for inclusion in the Code. This allows the legislation to be searchable on the Internet site along
with the Code.

Client, unless Client chooses to utilize MCC's Distribution Services. The website will be updated upon
shipment of the printed supplement or as Electronic Updates are delivered.
