ITEMS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA IV.D. RESOLUTION NO.2013-01, DESIGNATING OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER FOR 2013—ADOPTED In response to the Council's concern that the Edina Sun Current was not delivered to multi-family homes, Communication & Technology Services Director Bennerotte advised that in 2012, staff received only one call related to a circulation issue that was unresolved through the Edina Sun Current's call center. She explained that American Community Newspapers had a system-wide policy to not deliver to multi-family housing because the buildings were secured and property managers would not allow the newspapers to be left outside. She noted that extra copies of the Edina Sun Current would be available at City Hall and all published notices were available on the City's website under the "notices" section. Manager Neal suggested a strategy with the building owners relating to the official newspaper of the City. He noted the official newspaper requirement was for a newspaper of general circulation. The Edina Sun Current met that requirement. In addition, the Edina Sun Current was a free publication which was different from newspapers used by some other cities. Member Brindle introduced and moved adoption of Resolution No. 2013-01 designating official newspaper for 2013. Member Swenson seconded the motion.
