Discussions have ensued <br />relating to the editorial policy. He stated that Staff is proposing to change the editorial <br />policy so that non-profits and businesses and for profit agencies and businesses are treated <br />the same. Some non-profit organizations have received preferential treatment in the past. <br />He stated it has been a concern about spending tax dollars on alerting residents what time <br />church sermons will be, etc. He felt this is in the "gray area" and that the City should <br />maybe get away from doing this type of thing. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman stated he hopes the Resident will continue to publish things <br />that woUld help the community. <br /> <br />Councilmember Peterson stated that the City directory would be available for new <br />residents.
