There is no participation fee. Three program are currently open for your city to participate in; namely: 1) Office Products, Janitorial Cleaning Supplies and Office Furniture -winning low responsible bidder - S8T Office Products 2) Field Marking Paint -winning low responsible bidder - Hirsfield's 3) Outdoor Toilets -winning low responsible bidder -Bixby If Elk River decides to participate I will forward city contact information to these three companies and have them contact your designated staff and proceed from there. Under separate communication I will put together a package of materials on membership in NMMA and forward to your attention. I need a couple bits of information in order to calculate membership cost should the city want to officially join. Can you or one of your staff give me the following data points: 1) Current population 2) Current Net Tax Capacity NMMA uses these data points annually to structure its membership fee schedule. Typically, member cities greater than 7,500 in population fall into a formula driven membership fee basket and these two data point are used - 50% use to calculate the fee. Cities below 7,500 population fall into a fixed annual fee schedule (in 2011 the fee for this group of cities was $2,080). Lastly, each year we negotiate the membership rate that the City of Minneapolis pays, as well as Associate membership fee charged Anoka and Hennepin Counties. As stated above I will put together a number of documents and forward to your attention (probably via mail) yet this week. If you would like we could visit with your city council and staff regarding membership. I know the mayor and city manager of Ramsey have been talking to you; we could have one or more of our mayors/city managers join any future discussions you may want to have. Hope all is well with you. Thanks for thinking about our NMMA organization. Best regards, Joseph D.
