<br />Item No: 07B <br />Meeting Date: January 5, 2009 <br />Type of Business: CB <br />City Administrator Review: _____ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Desaree Crane, Assistant City Clerk-Administrator <br /> <br />Item Title/Subject: Consideration of Resolution 7396, Selection of the <br />Official City Newspaper, Acting Mayor, Treasurer and <br />Official Depositories for 2009 <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />The Focus and The Bulletin have each submitted proposals to be the City’s official <br />newspaper for 2009. The Council selected The Bulletin as the City’s primary newspaper last <br />year. Both newspapers have put in bids (letters attached), and The Bulletin’s rates continue <br />to be less. However, the City Council has expressed interest in selecting the Sun Focus as <br />the City’s official newspaper due to the better coverage that the Sun Focus provides to the <br />City. Both newspapers accept legal notices via e-mail. <br /> <br />Last year and in years previous the Council selected the St. Paul Pioneer Press as the City’s <br />secondary newspaper. Although the Pioneer Press did not submit a proposal this year, it <br />would certainly be acceptable for the Council to select the Pioneer Press as the City’s <br />secondary newspaper. <br /> <br />In addition, the attached resolution appoints the treasurer consistent with Section 6.04 of <br />the City Charter and also lists the city job positions that are authorized to conduct <br />banking and investment business on behalf of the City. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Review and Adopt Resolution 7396. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Desaree Crane <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1. Letter from Sun Newspapers <br />2. Letter from Lillie Suburban Newspapers, Inc. <br /> <br /> <br />
