9.f Discussion on draft of Spring Newsletter Staff Report Date of Meeting: March 21, 2017 To: City Council From: Judi Negus, Office Assistant Re: Draft Spring Newsletter and Summer Recreation Brochure Background: The City sends out two newsletters a year, one in April and one in October. Staff would like to get the April newsletter out around the first of the month. Therefore, the newsletter needs to get to the printer as soon as possible after the Council meeting. The spring newsletter also contains the Summer 2017 Recreation Programs brochure. Circulation is approximately 1,860, including about 460 newsletters mailed individually to Scandia residents with Marine mailing addresses. The newsletter is also made available on the City’s website. Due to the timing of materials received, there are 2 versions of the newsletter provided with one using the content provided by the Mayor and Councilmember Kronmiller and the other which allocates more of the space towards the Comprehensive Planning and Log House Landing issues. Issue: Are there any changes the Council would like to see to the newsletter? Proposal Details: The newsletter includes the following in addition to the summer recreation insert:  Welcome to the new elected officials  Message from the Mayor  Information on the public input process for Log House Landing  Information on the Comprehensive Plan  Welcome to Adam Hawkinson  Information on the 2017 road maintenance projects  Information on clean-up week  Short takes on Earth Day and Hazardous Materials and Electronics disposal Options: Identify changes, if any, you would like Staff to make before sending the newsletter to the printer.
