RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with LexisNexis, Inc. for
legal publications, subscriptions, and on-line research services in an
annual amount not to exceed $60,000.
DISCUSSION
Various City Departments are required to have the ability to access the
latest legal reference materials on an ongoing basis. This is done both
through standard publication and on-line formats. Previous contracts
with the City have provided continuous on-line access of legal research
for all City Attorney Office staff and the Police Department. In
addition, LexisNexis has been a primary provider of legal publications
and materials for other City Departments as well,
LexisNexis has provided these services to the City for the previous three
years and is the only publisher of several of the required publications.
The recommended action will allow for continuous service to the various
City Departments. In addition, a single agreement across departments
improves the City's overall coordination and use of legal materials.
