It is <br />anticipated however the annual cost based on Mound's current <br />newsletter are as follows: <br />Part-time "Editor"/Assembler <br />Printing <br />Mailing <br />$3,000 <br />3,600 <br />2, 500 <br />$9,100 <br />This does not include staff preparation time, which is a <br />"no cost" figure, but in fact detracts from other <br />issues. It is anticipated that each newsletter will <br />probably take about 8 to 15 hours of staff time in <br />origination and review apart from production costs. The <br />format and frequency may have an impact on that issue. <br />c. Newsoaoer Articles - Apart from public hearing <br />notices and newspaper articles that are placed by the <br />paper primarily for Council meetings the City has a <br />previously mentioned the following means of <br />communication : <br />City Column - Under the old heading the Mayor's <br />“Article which Council has requested to change to <br />"From the Council Chambers" is a format that can <br />be done on approximately a monthly basis generally <br />addressing one or two topics of current interest <br />to the public. <br />Preliminary Agendas - This started in about 1987 <br />the City continues to put in preliminary agendas in <br />V '.a newspaper the weekend before each Council <br />meeting. <br />Council Meeting Reporting - Currently 3 reporters <br />attend regular Council meetings. (Coverage of the <br />Pioneer is addressed in the City Administrator's <br />information.) <br />D. Cable TV <br />Tonka Report - For the past three years on a <br />continuing basis I have participated in a City <br />Administrators format on a monthly basis discussing <br />what is happening in the community together with <br />any specific topics that are common to all the <br />communities. It is anticipated that viewership of <br />this is fairly low, but for the few people <br />interested it does provide an Orono presence on <br />Cable TV. <br />. *>4.. .
