MEMORANDUM

TO: Bill Popp, President

Members of the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly

THRU: Dale Bagley, Mayor

FROM: Jeffrey Sinz, Finance Director

DATE: January 20, 2000

SUBJECT: Resolution for 2000 Property Tax Foreclosure List

Because of time limitations and our past experience, bids were solicited directly from the Peninsula Clarion and the Anchorage Daily News for printing and publication of the 2000 tax foreclosure list for the 1999 tax year, the delinquent personal property list and delinquent real property lease list. The only respondent was the Peninsula Clarion. The Clarion has been awarded this bid for at least the last nine years. The unit prices included in their bid were the same as last year. Therefore, it is recommended that the Assembly accept the Clarion's bid of $70.40 per computer-generated page for the tax foreclosure list and $19.10 per computer-generated page for the delinquency lists.

The contract price will be based on the final count of computer-generated pages submitted for publication, estimated to be 375-400 pages for the property tax foreclosure list and 70-80 pages for the delinquency lists. The actual cost will be finalized later in the month.
