4) Ramsey Resident Newsletter Format <br />Assistant City Administrator Nelson stated that the City has talked to Prime Advertising in the <br />past to consider doing the newsletter as well as a community guide. She stated that they have <br />given a proposal to the City for the format of the newsletter and since this is a new Council, staff <br />wanted to see if they would like to change what the City has been doing. She reviewed their <br />proposed newsletter format with four color, glossy pages. <br />Councilmember Dehen asked if there could be other vendors to consider for this work. <br />Assistant City Administrator Nelson stated that she is unsure, but thinks they rather have the <br />corner on this market. <br />Councilmember Jeffrey suggested having a Request For Proposal (RFP) process. <br />Assistant City Administrator Nelson stated that staff will review some other options and <br />companies that may be able to do this work. She reviewed the cost for production of the <br />newsletter through Prime. <br />Councilmember Look suggested doing the newsletter through an outside vendor for a year and <br />then after that consider taking it over ourselves. <br />There was a Consensus to pursue some other companies for RFPs for the newsletter. <br />There was discussion about the frequency and size of our usual newsletter. The Council <br />discussed researching costs for producing a four -color glossy newsletter on our own, including <br />selling ad space. <br />Councilmember Look stated that he can check with a printer on some costs for producing a four <br />color, glossy page newsletter. <br />MAYOR, COUNCIL AND STAFF INPUT <br />None <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />The Work Session of the City Council was adjourned at 8:50 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Kurds G.
