There are three local papers that are circulated <br /> in Falcon Heights: Focus News, Roseville Review, and Park Bugle. <br /> The city has received proposals from the Focus News and Roseville Review newspapers to be <br /> the city's official newspaper. Staff recommends that the city once again designate Focus News <br /> as its legal newspaper, for the following reasons: <br /> Focus News circulates to all households in Falcon Heights. Roseville Review does not <br /> deliver to many homes west of Snelling Avenue, where over half of the city's registered <br /> voters reside. <br /> Focus News has, over the past year, made a noticeable effort to cover Falcon Heights <br /> council meetings and events in their news section. <br /> Unlike the Park Bugle, Focus News is a weekly publication. A monthly publication such <br /> as the Park Bugle would not suit the city's needs, as legal notices often must be published <br /> on a moment's notice. <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: Designate Focus News as the city's official newspaper for 1995. <br />
