City Secretary
City of Fort Worth
1000 Throckmorton Street
Fort Worth, TX 76102
Dear Ms. Kayser:
Thank you for considering American Legal Publishing for your codification project. Following
is our proposal to recodify Fort Worth's code of ordinances.
A recodification includes incorporating new ordinances, updating the index and tables as needed,
reformatting the pages into a new typestyle, including single or dual column print, and printing
complete copies of the entire code book. It also includes a legal review and written report. The
review will uncover inconsistencies between sections in the code and inconsistencies with the
code and state statutes. Additionally, there might be some reorganization and renumbering of the
code if necessary. New binders and divider tabs are included in the price. There is also the
option to receive the new code on CD in the Folio program and have it posted on the internet.
In the future, new ordinances can be easily added to your code with American Legal's supplement
services. And, when you need a model ordinance, simply call us; we don't charge for provng
model ordinances. You can also search all codes on our internet site free of charge when you feel
like looking for models yourself.
We welcome the opportunity to help manage Fort Worth's municipal documents. Should you
have any questions about the proposal, please do not hesitate to call me.
Best regards,
Richard C. Frommeyer,
Codification Consultant

CODIFICATION AGREEMENT
September 21, 2012
The City of Fort Worth, ""Lull v F" corporation in the State of Texas ("Municipality") and American Legal Publishing
Corporation, ("Publisher"), an Ohio corporation, agree as follows:
L THE PUBLISHER SHALL:
(1) Examine the Municipality's prior code of ordinances, and all ordinances or resolutions provided by the
Municipality and determine which materials are to be codified.
(2) Utilize its staff of attorneys to review all materials to be codified and prepare a written report for the
municipal attorney.
(a) The report may include notice of and suggestions for resolving the following:
Apparent conflicts with referenced state and federal statutes and administrative regulations;
Repealed, renumbered, or obsolete state and federal statutes and administrative regulations;
Apparent conflicts with prominent federal case law; and Internal discrepancies such as duplications,
ambiguities, and obsolete terminology.
(b) Suggest new provisions which the Municipality should consider including in the new code, and suggest
deletions of old provisions which are no longer necessary or which might be improper or unlawful.
(c) The review will not involve re -drafting of entire chapters by the Publisher. However, the Publisher will
provide model ordinances to the Municipality upon request if available.
(d) At the option of the municipality, hold a manuscript conference with municipal representatives to
review the report. The Municipality will not be billed for time of the American Legal staff attorney if
it chooses this option, but will be billed for travel expenses.
Note: The review performed by the Publisher should not be considered as a substitute for the competent
advice of your Municipal Attorney, especially based on his/her in-depth knowledge of the municipal
practices and procedures, and American Legal Publishing is in no way assuming the role of attorney for
the municipality. Land Use sections of the code are especially specific to the locality and are thus only
subject to cursory review and comparison with the rest of the code.
(3) Classify all ordinances and resolutions which are of a general and permanent nature into titles, chapters, and
sections, according to subject matter.
(4) Make changes to effect uniformity of style and to correct typographical and spelling errors, grammar, and
usage. Substantive changes shall not be made in the wording of the ordinances. Suggestions for additions
or changes in the ordinances will be submitted to the Municipal Attorney.

applicable. These references shall appear at the end of the section to which they apply.

Code in accordance with III(3) of this Agreement. When the draft, and any changes thereto made by the

With Folio you can conduct searches by word, phrase, section number, date, or
anything you want. You can also perform stem searches when you are not sure of the
ending of the words you want to find (e.g. go% = going, gone, went, etc.) proximity
searches (e.g. find "penalty within 5 words of jail"), and more. You can also do
searches by title, chapter, table of contents, and in multiple infobases (such as in the
Code of Ordinances, Charter, Council Minutes, and anything else in the Folio format)
at the same time. Additionally, Folio allows each user to customize his or her version
by creating a shadow file with color and style highlights, bookmarks, notes, and pop-up
links within the text without affecting the original text.
This program .has been recognized by the computer industry to be the leader in
search and retrieval. In a review of computer programs in an issue of PC Magazine,
Folio VIEWS was said to be.
'fast, flexible, and rock solid. It imported files that made other programs
crash, and made virtually every step of creating and using an infobase simple
and enjoyable. You'll need very convincing reasons for choosing anything
else. "
