WHEREAS, Lodi Municipal Code, Section 3.20.070, authorizes dispensing with bids for
purchases of supplies, services or equipment when it is in the best interest of the City to do so; and

documentation into the FileMagic System which includes resolutions, public hearings, council
communications and City Council minutes; and

licensing agreement, thereby limiting access to the information to staff; and

technologically feasible without the Fortis component; and

in developing the City Clerk's overall computerized records management system, and

Appleby & Company, Inc., who is the regional provider of FileMagic and Fortis, at an approximate
cost of $80,000.00.
