STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
As set out in the City Charter, the Council must designate a newspaper of "general
circulation" as the official publication for all required notices. The City of Round
Rock and the Round Rock Leader have enjoyed a very professional relationship for
many years. The Leader staff has always worked very closely with City staff to
ensure that all notices, ordinances, etc. have been published in a timely and proper
manner. Staff recommends that the Council enter into an agreement designating
the Round Rock Leader as the official publication for the period of June 1, 1996
through June 1, 1997.
ECONOMIC IMPACT:
The rates will increase from .20 cents per word for each insertion to .23 cents per
word for each insertion. The rate for maps /drawings will increase from $6.15 per
column inch to $6.85 per column inch.
