9.f) Staff Report-Fall NewsletterSCANDIA
Staff Report
Date of Meeting: September 16, 2014
To: City Council
From: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
Re: Fall Newsletter
Background:
The City sends out a newsletter twice a year, April and October. The newsletter is mailed out to nearly
1,900 homes in Scandia, including those with a Marine on St. Croix address. It is also available on the
City's website.
Issue:
Are any changes needed to the fall newsletter?
Proposal Details:
Review the draft newsletter and advise staff on any needed changes. A new format is being proposed for
this fall. In addition, staff is proposing to use a different pastel color paper to help it stand out more to
people. Samples will be reviewed from the printer before deciding on a new color.
Fiscal Impact:
Staff is proposing to switch to Rapid Press for the printing and preparing of the newsletter. Their fees are
slightly lower than the Country Messenger.
