For whatever reason, Mr. <br /> Hoelscher was able to publish only one edition of this revamped newsletter. Over the past <br /> several months the City had attempted to contact Mr. Hoelscher with little response, <br /> Councilmember Aplikowski recently discussed the newsletter with Mr. Hoelscher and may have <br /> additional information at the meeting. <br /> Concerns <br />- While the previous Newsletter had lost some of its vitality, it did provide a method to <br />-, communicate with local residents. It has become obvious that public announcements in the <br /> newspaper and on Cable T.V. are not an adequate method for informing Arden Hills citizens. <br /> 1996 Budget <br /> The City has budgeted $18,000 in 1996 to assist with the production of the Newsletter. <br /> Options <br />- The Council may wish to consider the following options: <br /> 1. Create a new "Newsletter" Committee <br /> 2. Continue utilizing Jon Hoelscher <br />- 3. Advertise for a new local resident to write the Newsletter <br /> 4, Return to the old Newsletter format <br /> v5. Seek outside consultant to write a new Newsletter <br />- 6. Prepare a "basic" Newsletter in house and include it within the Park and <br /> Recreation Guide <br />I Recommendation <br />I Staff would recommend the Council authorize Staff to pursue the options available to the City <br /> for producing some form of a Newsletter and report back at its earliest opportunity. <br />:, BF:sae <br />. <br />
