Cathy Bennett, Economic Development Coordinator, explained that the Mounds View Editorial Board has recently reviewed the benefits of offering advertising in Mounds View's publications. This would generate revenue to cover a portion of the production costs. After review, the Editorial Board prepared an advertising policy for all City publications which will protect the city from having to accept inappropriate advertising and serves as a guideline for businesses and organizations who would like to advertise in the publications. Ms. Bennett explained that the city will be offering advertising in both the Mounds View Matters Community Newsletter and also in the new Business Directory. The board will also review the effectiveness of the policy and advertising on an annual basis and report back to the Council. Council member Blanchard stated she would like some type of disclaimer in the publications stating that the City does not necessarily promote the advertisements. Ms. Bennett stated that in the Mounds View Matters publication, all advertisements will be on one to three pages and will be listed as "Paid Advertisements". A disclaimer can also be added if the council desires. In the Business Directory, the advertisements will be placed as space pernuts, so a disclaimer can be added in the same area that one is added in the phone book.
