Hanson <br />The City has received a quote from Lillie Suburban Newspapers for 2013 Legal Newspaper <br />designation. No other quotes were received. Below is a comparison of this quote with 2012 rates: <br />2012 2013 <br />Lillie Lillie <br />Suburban Suburban <br />Floor Agendas $88 $91 <br />Legal Rate $7.60 /In. $8.00 /In. <br />You will note from the quote attached that Lillie Suburban is quoting a cost of $459 per month for <br />publication of Council meeting minutes. As you will recall, in 2000 the City began mailing Council <br />meeting minutes to property owners who requested this service in lieu of publishing the minutes. <br />Currently, there are 7 property owners on the mailing list. Based on calculations put together a few <br />years ago, the cost for mailing minutes to a few property owners is substantially less than publication <br />costs. Given the limited number of requests tbr mailed minutes, as well as their availability on the <br />City's Web site, staff recommends that the City continue the practice of mailing minutes upon <br />request rather than publishing them. <br />It is staff's recommendation that Lillie Suburban Newspapers he designated as the City's legal <br />newspaper for 2013. <br />
