Do you need to have your existing code updated? <br /> <br />Since its budget time again, I'm sending this brief note and the enclosed brochure to <br />remind you that the League of Minnesota Cities does have a successful and well respected <br />codification service and does provide customized code and code review services to <br />Minnesota Cities. <br /> <br />A brochure about our codification services is enclosed. A list of cities to which we provide <br />codification services is on the back of this letter. <br /> <br />We partner in this effort with American Legal Publishing Corporation who does our <br />editing, publishing and initial legal review of the draft code. <br /> <br />Even thought I am retiring from fuIl-time employment with the League, I expect to <br />continue on a part-time basis to manage the codification service and review, from my <br />perspective as the author of the Minnesota Basic Code and the Handbook for Minnesota <br />Cities, the materials produced by American Legal Publishing Corporation in the <br />codification process. <br /> <br />Since I became manager of the League's codification service six years ago, we have <br />produced 73 customized codes, with an additional 10 now in process, and updated several <br />additional codes. This is several times more than all other codification services combined. <br /> <br />Unlike other codifiers, our services include a thorough legal review by attorneys familiar <br />with Minnesota law. We will suggest changes to make your code consistent with Minnesota <br />statutory and case law, and provide model and sample language to update your code when <br />advisable. <br /> <br />If you would like us to prepare a proposal to update your existing code or develop a <br />customized code for your city, please contact our attorney at American Legal Publishing <br />Corporation, Ray BoIlhauer at (800) 445-5588. He and I will develop a proposal and get it <br />to you within a few days of your request. <br /> <br />I hope to be of service to you in the future! Be sure to visit the American Legal /League of <br />Minnesota Cities Codification Service booth at the annual conference. <br /> <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY /A.FFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER <br />
