MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JANUARy 10, 1996 problems and resolved them. Fahey stated that he has two biases. First, the decision must be cost-effective. A$1,400 difference is a big concern, and the Council owes it to the taxpayers to look at that issue. Secondly, Fahey felt that the Little Canada Press covers the City much better. There are more articles of general public interest. Fahey asked if Enright could improve this kind of coverage in the Review. Enright stated that it was difficult to compare the two newspapers. Enright felt the Review did more in-depth reporting, and stated that if the City would like to see a broader spectrum of reporting, they can do that. Harold Feichert asked if the Review would include a local sports section covering Little Canada sports teams as well as LCRA news. Enright replied that can be done. Morelan pointed out that the legal newspaper designation means publishing of minutes and notices in a newspaper. The Council would be doing nothinq which would affect the reporting of the news in either paper. Scalze pointed out that the City is trying to get some bang for its buck. Scalze agreed that $1,400 was a significant cost savings, and pointed out that the Review has done a good job for the City printing articles which are quite accurate.
