PREPARED BY: Finance Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the specifications and authorize

City Utility Bill Forms, and 25,000 Delinquent Utility Bill Forms.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 1995, the first year the City bid its annual requirement for
utility bills, savings were $975, or 15% below 1994 costs when
requirements were bid periodically as needed. This savings was
realized despite a 40% increase in paper costs during the same period. It is therefore staff's
recommendation to continue the annual bid for utility bills requirements.

Billing Division annual budget.
Estimated cost: $6,500
