To: Mayor and Council members <br />From Barb Suciu, City Clerk VP <br />Date: 11/19/2010 <br />Currently, the City of St. Anthony produces a quarterly, 12 -page newsletter. This is printed in two -color and <br />distributed to all the residents and businesses of St. Anthony. This equals about 5,000 copies per distribution. <br />The St Anthony/New Brighton School District produces a 12 -page newsletter three times during the school year <br />and once during the summer. This is printed in two -color and is distributed to all the residents of the St. <br />Anthony/New Brighton School District. This equals to about 8,000 copies per distribution <br />Attached is a cost analysis between the City and the School District. As you can see, the school district prints <br />more copies and their costs are less than the City's. The City uses a local printer and the school district <br />outsources their newsletter to a company out of the city. <br />With both entities producing a 12 -page newsletter it would be very difficult to share a newsletter. Both <br />newsletters are filled with useful information for the residents. One solution would be increase the number of <br />issues of the newsletter from per year to six per year. With the extra editions, the two entities could possibly <br />print all the necessary information. <br />The logistics of combining the City and School District's newsletters would be somewhat complex. You first <br />have the distribution discrepancy. The city would want to continue distributing to all businesses within the city <br />and 1 would presume the school district would want to keep their distribution as is. <br />
