City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Hicks & City Councilmembers
From: Melanie Mesko Lee
Date: December 29, 2010
Item: Designation of Official Newspaper and authorizing alternative means of
dissemination–2011
Council Action Requested:
Approve the attached Resolution designating the Hastings Star Gazette as the official City
newspaper for the year 2011, 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 2011. 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.
Financial Impact:
Anticipated publication costs are budgeted for annually.
