Re: Designation of Official Newspaper and authorizing alternative means of
dissemination–2010
Requested Action:
Approve the attached Resolution designating the Hastings Star Gazette as the official City newspaper for
the year 2010, and authorizing the City’s website to be used as an alternative means for dissemination for
bids and requests for proposals.
Background Information:
Annually, the City must designate an official newspaper. The Hastings Star Gazette has served in that
capacity for many years and staff recommends the same designation for 2010. Additionally, cities are
permitted to authorize their website as an alternative means for dissemination for bids and requests for
proposals. The City has authorized this means of dissemination for the last few years. Advertisements
for bids will continue to be placed in the Construction Bulletin, and official notices will continue to be
published in the Star Gazette.
