AIS Mailer (passed around couple meetings ago)
Cost $40.00 per copy to produce to give to each shoreline inspector. Bill asked Bob what he could do to reproduce. Bob put a copy together and obtained an estimate from Advanced Printing for approximately $15.00 per copy for printing and laminating. We are looking into the cost of having the copies printed and laminating ourselves. We are also checking into a way to fasten the 5 copies together, rings were a suggestion. Approximately 30 copies are needed.
