BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
At the June 19, 2018, meeting, Councilman Dyda suggested educating residents about
topics such as becoming a Charter City, a new Civic Center, and the Portuguese Bend
landslide by placing an insert in the City’s quarterly newsletter. The City Council agreed
by consensus to add this suggestion to a future agenda for discussion. The next City
Newsletter is scheduled for publication in September 2018, and already features an 8-
page Recreation Parks Activity Guide for residents. An additional one-page insert with
double-sided printing is estimated to cost approximately $1,150, not including postage.
Another possibility would be for the City Council to direct Staff to prepare articles about
these topics of interest in the body of the newsletter as a Special Edition, replacing
sections such as “City Council Action,” and adding an additional insert if necessary.
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to the Staff recommendation, the following alternative action is available for
the City Council’s consideration:
1. Direct Staff to prepare articles about these additional events and issues in
a special insert for the newsletter.
