decide on a monthly, quarterly or longer billing cycle. All services selected by the City will be provided for a peri[od not less than three (3) years to allow a reasonable lenguh of time for cost and quality evalua~ion. Three months before the three year service period is over, AEC will inform the City of)ny and all adjustments in cost made to provide the billing service, so that the CiD' has time t0 evaluate the new billing service proposal prior to the end of the initial three year agreement. We hope that this Proposal meets with your approval, and we are read',' to take the next steps to implement the ser?~ic¢. Should the CiD' decide to have AEC perform ~he municipal billing service AEC is prqpared to help the City inform Ramsey residents of the utiliD, billing service and new utility biI~ format. Whichever level of service the CiD' determines to be in its best interest can be app)'oved by either resolution of the CiD, Council, or by contract. In conclusion, A~C has developed the Ramsey UtiliD, Billing Proposal with the goals of offering a service that would: * Increase ithe accuracy of billing accounts and statements. * Provide the oppormnit3' for increased municipal utility cash flow. * Decreasa the need for the City to invest in computer hardware and software.

Provide ~ value added service to the customer by being able to pay a number of uti.liD, bills with one check, in one envelop, to one entin..,. * Maximia~e effectiveness and efficiency by using processes and technology akeady existing at AEC.
