<br /> In response to an inquiry by Mr. Sullivan. Mr. Bocian noted that if Council were <br />interested in pursuing Option 4, staff would work with the Pleasanton Weekly to design and <br />establish a standard display format and a predetermined location in the paper. He pointed out <br />that this would not impact the mailed notices that are distributed to residents. <br /> Mr. Brozosky believed using the Pleasanton Weekly for publication of meeting notices <br />was a more effective outlet for notifications as a majority of the community reads this paper. <br /> There were no public comments. <br /> It was moved by Mr. Thorne, seconded by Mr. Brozosky, to award an agreement to <br />publish the City's legal notices for the 20OS-06 fiscal year to The Valley Times and <br />approve Option 4 amending the City's current practice of publishing meeting notices. <br /> Mr. Sullivan believed the City needed a better notification system and not less. He <br />suggested retaining the current practice including using Channel 30 as a means for displaying <br />general meeting notices. <br /> Ms. McGovern said she could support Option 4 but believed there are times when items <br />of major concern and solicitations should be published in the Valley Times. <br /> Mr. Fialho asked if Ms. McGovern was suggesting that the City's significant important <br />meetings such as workshops should be advertised in the Pleasanton Weekly and the Valley <br />Times. <br /> Ms. McGovern said yes. <br /> Ms. McGovern offered an amendment to the motion to include using the Valley <br />Times to publish major items or solicitations, such as workshops and commission <br />vacancies. <br /> Mr. Thorne accepted the amendment to the motion. <br /> Mayor Hosterman noted that Council could revisit this issue if it received concerns from <br />the community. <br /> Mr. Bocian mentioned staff would inform Council if it were unsuccessful in its attempts to <br />work with the Pleasanton Weekly to establish a standard display format and a predetermined <br />location in the paper. <br />The roll call vote was taken as follows: <br />AYES: Councilmembers - Brozosky, McGovern, Thorne, and Mayor Hosterman <br />NOES: Council member Sullivan <br />ABSENT: None <br />ABSTAINED: None <br />Pleasanton City Council 28 1 0/04/05 <br />Minutes <br />
