CONTRACT
The City's contract for the publishing of the monthly newsletter and
minutes expires December 31, 1993 . It is rny recommendation that the city
continue publishing its monthly newsletter and minutes in the "Rosemount
ThisWeek" . Representatives of the newspaper have advised there will be no
increase in costs for 1994 . Therefore, a breakdown of costs are as
follows:
(1) Monthly newsletter at $6.78 per column inch or $516. 98 per month or
$6203 .78 per year;
(2) Minutes published in the "Rosemount ThisWeek" at a cost of $5.63 per
column inch or approximately $8000 per year;
(3) Agenda for council and commissions published at no cost; and
(4) Legal notices in the "Dakota County Tribune" published at a cost of
$6. 67 per column inch or approximately $7200 a year.
Designating the city's official newspaper is done at the first eouncil
meeting in January so council action regarding legal notices would not
be necessary at this meeting, but I feel it's important to mention
since it ties into using the "Rosemount ThisWeek" for the newsletter
and minutes.
The staff at Dakota ThisWeek Newspapers are professional, cooperative and a
pleasure to work with and meet city staff needs when it comes to the
newsletter, legal notices, deadlines, etc. If it is the intention of the
City Council to continue a monthly newsletter, it is my recommendation the
City continue using the ThisWeek Newspaper.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: MOTION TO ENTER A CONTRACT WITH DAKOTA COUNTY
TRIBUNE, INC. FOR THE PUBLICATION OF A MONTHLY NEWSLETTER, MINUTES AND
AGENDA AT THE SAME COSTS AS 1993 FOR THE PERIOD OF JANUARY 1, 1994 --
DECEMBER 31, 1994 .
