She encouraged the City to continue working with the Sun • <br /> Focus to assure that proper communication was passed along to residents. <br /> Council Member Stigney was in favor of staying with the current newspaper vendor, the Sun <br /> Focus. <br /> Council Member Hull indicated he would be in favor of selecting the Sun Focus. <br /> Mayor Flaherty noted he would be in favor of choosing The Bulletin as the distribution and <br /> coverage was similar for both newspapers. <br /> Council Member Stigney questioned staff's recommendation on this issue. City Administrator <br /> Ericson recommended the Council stay with the Sun Focus as this publication better represented <br /> the City of Mounds View. <br /> Mayor Flaherty asked if the Council would like Council Member Stigney to continue as the <br /> Acting Mayor, or if someone else was in interested. <br /> Council Member Mueller noted she was interested in serving as the Acting Mayor. <br /> Council Member Gunn indicated she was also interested in serving as the Acting Mayor. <br /> Following a vote, Council Member Mueller was selected to serve as the Acting Mayor. <br /> • <br />
