"Fanatical customer support! (99% customer retention rate)"
That is a very high retention rate! Municode is either the best in the business or has a "captive" clientele that does not switch horses in midstream for some reason. What might this other reason be if they are not the best best of breed in a fast moving field of information management? Lack of client awareness of better products? To hard, to much risk or to expensive to switch horses? Lack of client interest in reviewing the information management system vendors for a better service?
This is the Aurora Oregon City Code as provided by Municode:

Pathetic!
This is the Bend Oregon City Code as provided by Code Publishing Company:
https://www.codepublishing.com/OR/Bend/
Compare the two Code Formats. I conclude that Municode 99% retention rate is a function of city management failure to update an old legacy system. That is an interesting situation to investigate.
I have looked at this .org assignment to what would otherwise be a .gov site. In many cases where a .gov site provides a link to an associated .org website that is maintained as a contracted provider there is a warning that the user is going from the .gov site to a non-.gov site.
https://www.usa.gov/link-to-us
This explains Federal .gov linking policy to .org pubic/private relationship:
https://www.usa.gov/linking-policy
"USA.gov links to many websites created and maintained by other public and/or private organizations as outlined in our Linking Policy. If you click a link to an outside website, you will leave the USA.gov site, and are subject to the privacy and security policies of the owners/sponsors of the outside website."
Is Deschutes County the "owner" or the "sponsor" of the website. Should be owner but might it possibly be the sponsor somewhere in the small print of a privacy statement?
This under Evaluation Criteria at the above link:
"Is the website's approach to the privacy of personal information consistent with the government's privacy and security policies?"
Is the privacy statement a Deschutes County Statement or Municode Statement?
