Dear Ms. Stephenson:
Pursuant to your request, we are pleased to submit the following information
relative to the Clearwater Code on magneiic media.
(a) Magnetic Media for City. In March 1993, the City purchased 20
SOCRATES licenses under PO No. 1246, for a total price of $1,865.00.
The City receives updated disks upon completion of each Supplement,
based on the charge of $2.00 per text page (in addition to the regular
Supplement per page rate). The City recently received the magnetic media
of the Code updated through Supplement No. 1.
(b) Sale of Magnetic Media to Outside Subscribers. The magnetic media in
WordPerfect integrated with SOCRATES could be made available to
outside subscribers on 3-1/2 inch diameter, double density, double sided
disks. Inasmuch as MCC would be responsible for providing support to
the subscribers, we would retain most of the revenues for the sale of the
initial disk with a 10% commission credited to the City, as set out below.
The charge for the updated disks would be enough to provide the City
with the full subscriber hard copy renewal income, as well as cover MCC's
ongoing support of the subscribers.

The handling expenses for the distribution of the subscriber disks (initial
mailing and mailing of future updated disks) and the annual billing of such
subscribers for the updating service will be absorbed by MCC and will not
be charged to the City.
Parties interested only in the Land Development Code provisions would
be required to purchase the magnetic media of the entire Code.
To assist you in reviewing the City's expenses and revenues for the sale
of the hard copy vs magnetic media, we are pleased to submit the enclosed
summary.
