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 departments. 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.
