CC Work Session 2. 1. <br />Meeting Date: 11/12/2013 <br />Title: <br />Newsletter Advertising Contract <br />Purpose /Background: <br />Purpose: Selection of a newsletter advertising vendor that is most cost effective for the city - both in price and <br />service. <br />The city currently contracts with Wheels of Thunder to sell ads for the Ramsey Resident. The purpose of the ad <br />sales was to offset the price of producing and mailing the Ramsey Resident. The contract with Wheels of Thunder <br />has been in place since 2010, but the number of ad sales has greatly reduced, resulting in a higher cost to the city. In <br />correlation with the reduction in ad sales, the number of complaints from ad customers has been increasing. <br />The city is required by charter to produce six newsletters per year. To save on production costs, two black & white <br />issues are placed in with the quarterly utility bill and four are full -color with ads. <br />Timeframe: <br />15 minutes. <br />Funding Source: <br />The newsletter is supported by the ad sales and the General Fund Budget. <br />Responsible Party(ies): <br />Administration handles the production of the newsletter. <br />Outcome: <br />Selection of a newsletter advertising vendor. <br />Pros cons of ad vendors <br />Website examples <br />est profit -loss outsourcing <br />profit loss chart <br />Information <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich 11/07/2013 02:48 PM <br />Form Started By: Diana Lund Started On: 10/11/2013 10:23 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 11/07/2013 <br />
