Background and Analysis:
There are no changes to the Interlocal Agreement, except the U.S. postage rate for first class 1 and 2-oz letters, which is regulated by the U.S. Postal Service. This rate increase went into effect January 27, 2013. They are reflected in the attached contract, Exhibit A, but result in no financial impact to this Interlocal Agreement between the City and CMS.
The City saves approximately $7,000 per year in discounted postage rates by co-mingling its outgoing U.S. mail with other entities' mail by contracting with CMS for mail services.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
