CITY OF ST. ANTHONY <br /> REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION <br /> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ <br /> Date Submitted Type of Action Requested Agenda Item Number <br /> _X Resolution New Business-2 <br /> January 6, 1983 _ _ — Ordinance - <br /> Date Action Requested Formal Action/Motion Title Legal Newspaper <br /> Other <br /> January 11 , 1983 t Designation for 1983 <br /> I ------------------------------------------------------------------------ <br /> TO: Mayor and Councilmen <br /> FROM : David M. Childs , City Manager <br /> SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF SUBJECT: Attached are letters from two newspapers, the <br /> Bulletin (_Lillie) and the Sun , with regard to being appointed as the official news- <br /> paper for 1983.. You will - note that the price quote submitted by the Sun Newspapers <br /> is lower than the St. Anthony Bulletin. I contacted the Sun Newspapers and they <br /> stated that if appointed official paper, they would not , at this time, plan to <br /> publish a separate St. Anthony edition , although a reporter would be available and <br /> stories would be printed in the Columbia Heights edition. If a St. Anthony edition <br /> were ever published, it would be a full edition - not just St . Anthony front page. <br /> The Bulletin prices as submitted , are the same as 1982, when we paid approximately <br /> $900 for publication costs. <br /> I <br /> ALTERNATIVES : <br /> 1 . Appoint the Sun as official paper, recognizing an approximate $300.00 savings <br /> in. publication costs, but a decrease in probable coverage of local events. <br /> 2. Appoint the Bulletin , noting a higher price, but weighing those dollars <br /> against probable superior coverage of local events. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: Per Council . <br /> C TY MANAGER' S REVIEW: COMMENTS : <br />
