City of Fort Bragg
416 N. Franklin Street
Fort Bragg, CA 95437
Dear City Manager Whippy:
Thank you for reaching out to The Lew Edwards Group (LEG) to potentially partner with the City on its fiscal sustainability needs. A collaboration with LEG provides the City of Fort Bragg with the following:
✓ A nationally recognized, award-winning firm in public agency engagement and communications;
✓ A California leader in revenue ballot measures, having enacted over $42 Billion with a 95% enactment rate for local governments and other public agencies, including 157 enacted sales tax measures; and
✓ A firm with extensive experience in successful approaches for small-sized communities such as the cities of Arvin, Belmont, Emeryville, Exeter, Ceres, Chowchilla, Colma, Cotati, East Palo Alto, Lakeport, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, Saratoga, St. Helena, Taft, Tehachapi, Wheatland, Willows, and Windsor, to name a few.
LEG welcomes a potential collaboration that is consistent with our organization’s Best Practices.
Warmly,
Co-Founder & Principal Consultant

ABOUT THE LEW EDWARDS GROUP
The Lew Edwards Group (LEG) is a California leader in providing strategic communications and revenue generation services to local governments throughout California. Our firm is celebrating its 27 th year as a company. Local government or public agency representation constitutes more than twothirds of our practice.
Experts from LEG are frequently sought after trainers and speakers for the League of California Cities, California Municipal Treasurers Association, California Society of Municipal Finance Officers, Local Government Commission, Institute for Local Governments, Municipal Management Association, California Police Chiefs Association, and others. LEG’s direct mail products have been recognized on multiple occasions in the prestigious national Pollie Awards.
LEG’s 2024 sales tax summary and recent cycle sheets are in the Appendix of this document. LEG closed 2022 with 66 enactments and wins. During the last Presidential Election year in 2020, LEG tied its internal 2016 record of 68 enactments and wins. For a comprehensive list of clients, visit www.lewedwardsgroup.com.
A list of LEG’s sales tax enactments is contained within the Appendix to this proposal.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS IN THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENT
Taxpayer Protection Act: As the City is aware, the Business Roundtable/Howard Jarvis TPA leaders have qualified the Taxpayer Accountability Act which, if on the ballot and enacted would foreclose the option of simple majority requirement revenue measures.
The Act includes a “grandfather clause,” a dynamic that needs to be monitored and accounted for in your planning. As you know, the placement of this initiative on the ballot is currently pending a legal challenge.
Cost of Living Issues: We will likely continue to see pocketbook issues and voter concern over the economy into the fall. If the cost of living continues to affect basic groceries and gas, the environment may shift downward.
Competition on the Ballot: As it is a Presidential Year, beyond the potential Business Roundtable initiative, additional statewide and regional items on the ballot should be anticipated. Any State or regional measures that also ask for money may affect your planning, something to watch for between now and the summer. Currently a State climate change bond and a State education bond are expected on the November state ballot.
SCOPE OF SERVICES OPTIONS
There are two different scopes of work the City can choose from, as described below and on the subsequent pages.
Option 1: Full Scope
Ongoing Lead Project Management
LEG can provide ongoing, hands on Lead Project Management to its cities and prides itself on a decisive, team building approach. Our experts typically facilitate/coordinate all team planning for effective deployment on all benchmarks during the planning process.
LEG would schedule consistent bi-weekly planning teleconference or video sessions with the City.
With the input of all participants, LEG will develop meeting agendas, facilitate sessions, and coordinate the timely deployment of all tasks and assignments. Our planning efforts throughout the process are designed to use the City’s time efficiently and well, while providing important Lead Project Management leadership and support to ensure that all timetables and benchmarks are met within the necessary timeframe during these extraordinary times when staff are stretched thin.
Most of our clients utilize this model because they are not as experienced with ballot measure work, wish to have additional support addressing challenging local dynamics, and/or have concerns about viability.
LEG approaches its partnership with personal dedication, enthusiasm, and a commitment to excellent service, recognizing that our ultimate consumer is not only the City of Fort Bragg, but also most importantly, the constituents the City represents.
Public Information
LEG will develop and recommend a Public Information Plan to the City and recommend methods to deliver and saturate an effective informational message during this polarized and busy communications environment, such as drafting word copy content for utility stuffers, City website, online public outreach, and more. LEG will provide first drafts of all materials for the review and approval of the City, and – while the City itself has experience with past sales tax and other ballot measures -- train the appropriate city messengers on the message for the 2024 environment.
Development of Educational Messages: The Public Information Program is a critical method of educating the public and raising awareness of the City’s needs. “Message discipline” and a clear, concise focus are critical to our informational effort. LEG will draft and/or refine talking points for City staff and Council use.
Direct Mail/Social Media: LEG recommends its cities invest in an informational direct mail program.
The number of mailings the City should implement is contingent upon LEG’s discussions with your City Attorney and the City’s budget parameters for this project. All of our other sales tax cities will be implementing at least 4 mailings in 2024 due to the all-mail ballot structure and the challenging economic and communications environment.
Other communications vehicles include your City website, social media (such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other platforms) and a (virtual) Speakers’ Bureau program. LEG assists in drafting information for social media as part of our multi-disciplinary public outreach effort and advises our municipal clients on how to navigate independent or third party sites such as local blogs or Nextdoor.
Press Coverage: LEG will review earned (non-paid) media press opportunities with City staff.
Balanced or positive press coverage will build additional constituent awareness throughout the process, which is critical to informing your public about your ballot measure policy vision. While LEG does not function as a spokesperson, our experts can develop collaterals such as press releases, media backgrounders, talking and response points for the appropriate City messengers.
Rapid Response: LEG will redirect message points and materials to assist in rapid response to challenging media or citizen inquiries, as necessary. LEG experts are available to craft appropriate rapid responses as necessary to address changing external nuances.
Option 2: Short Scope
Alternatively, if limited budget is an issue to the City’s availability to execute consistent with the Best Practices LEG advises, LEG can offer an alternative scope. Provided that the City commits to conducting a public opinion poll—which is strongly advised by LEG in this environment--the City can choose LEG’s short scope of services instead. The difference between the two is that there is no ongoing strategic support. In this model, LEG would:
• Develop a Communications Toolkit of informational materials (website copy, online text, FAQs, talking points, power point presentation, and a schedule and word copy content for 3-4 mailings).
• Participate in up to two video or teleconferences with City Staff to review the recommended messaging materials.
• Make one round of revisions to messaging materials and transmit to City. • Provide Message Training to City Staff.
City to design/print/mail at its own expense in both models, utilizing its own vendors.
PROPOSED COSTS
Without exception, LEG does not bill on an hourly or time and materials basis.
Option 1 (Full Scope under a Professional Services Agreement format) Professional Fees (April 15th-Nov 15th): $38,500*
(Eight month retainer at our discounted small-city rate of $5,500/month. The months of April and November respectively, are prorated to half the month.)
OR, alternatively, Option 2 (Short Scope under Purchase Order format only. No contract to review or edit, no insurance requirements.)
Flat Professional Short Scope Fee $25,000*
(Please note that LEG is offering this scope contingent on the City conducting polling by a professional entity, which our organization considers a critical Best Practice.)
Again, under either scope the City is designing/printing/mailing using its own vendors and those costs need to be budgeted for by the City, outside of LEG’s agreement. (An Appendix of additional qualifications and samples is on the following pages)
