discussion is focused on whether this would be the right time to outsource this task and free up <br />additional staff time. <br />Councilmember Heinrich stated that outsourcing something that is done internally brings up a lot <br />of questions for her. <br />Mayor LeTourneau stated that the City has received input from the community that this method <br />of communication is in its best format. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated that there is not a printer in Ramsey that can do the job correctly. <br />He stated that if this was done inhouse, he could assist in securing bids that would provide <br />additional outsourcing options for inhouse efficiencies. He stated that he would be willing to sit <br />down with staff to work on this. <br />Communications and Events Coordinator Thorstad stated that the largest benefit would be that <br />this would save time across all depaitments. She explained how the process currently works and <br />the work that would be required of staff. She stated that currently the City works with multiple <br />vendors to deliver this product, while this contract would put all those elements together under <br />one vendor. <br />Councilmember Heinrich stated that this is one option and believed that additional options could <br />be explored as Councilmember Kuzma suggested. <br />City Administrator Ulrich confirmed that staff would meet with Councilmember Kuzma to <br />explore an alternate option. <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated that she strongly supports outsourcing the newsletter to a <br />company that does this activity on a regular basis. She noted that this option would save both <br />time and money. <br />Councilmember Riley stated that he was surprised that the communications staff person is not in <br />charge of this. <br />Mayor LeTourneau confirmed the consensus of the Council to evaluate another option. <br />2.04: Update Regarding Local Road Funding <br />City Administrator Ulrich reviewed the staff report. <br />Finance Director Lund noted that there would be different charges for residential and <br />commercial properties. <br />3.
