DESIGNATION OF THE OFFICAL CITY NEWSPAPER
Council Report 93 -2
Proposed Action
Staff recommends that the Council approve the following motion: Move approval of the Hopkins Sailor as

Overview
The City needs to annually designate an official newspaper for legal notices, etc. The official paper has been
the Hopkins Sun - Sailor for a number of years. They are experienced in providing this service.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Which newspaper would best serve as the City's official newspaper?
The Sun - Sailor is the only local paper that is delivered to every home. It is probably considered the
"official" newspaper by most citizens. Its rates are competitive with the Weekly News.
