A complaint was made to the Sun 2 <br />Focus and no action has been taken to date. 3 <br /> 4 <br />Council Member Mueller requested the local papers be invited to an upcoming work session to 5 <br />assist with finding a solution to the matter. 6 <br /> 7 <br />Council Member Hull agreed with this suggestion. 8 <br /> 9 <br />Council Member Mueller asked if the City had estimated the expense to install the newspaper 10 <br />tubes onto the mailbox posts. Public Works Director DeBar indicated this has not been 11 <br />estimated but could be reviewed for Area E. 12 <br /> 13 <br />Mayor Flaherty indicated the Council discussed this issue years ago regarding the need to 14 <br />communicate with residents and the newspaper was a tool for this type of communication. He 15 <br />encouraged the residents to request a newspaper tube from the Sun Focus. 16 <br /> 17 <br />Public Works Director DeBar explained another concern at this time was that the mailboxes were 18 <br />grouped and a number of newspapers were sitting in a yard at this time. 19 <br /> 20 <br />Mayor Flaherty encouraged residents to take in their newspapers. 21 <br /> 22 <br />The Council consensus was to not proceed with funding newspaper tubes at this time. 23 <br /> 24 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Hull/Stigney.
