070991 - Improved Communications with residents - Box 067TO: HONORABLE MAYOR
AND MEMBERS
ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
FROM: FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER
DATE: JULY 2, 1991
RE: IMPROVED COMMUNICATIONS WITH RESIDENTS.
This item is presented for discussion at the request of Mayor
Imperial.
It has been the general policy of the Council to rely on posted
agendas, press releases, and the City newsletter to communicate City
activities and issues under consideration. In the vast majority of
instances, this system has proved satisfactory. However, a number of.
residents have expressed the view that when issues of significant
impact on large portions of the City are involved, a wider
distribution of information would be appropriate.
There are a number of alternative methods available to achieve
City-wide distribution of information, depending on the topic. Mass
mailings, attachment to utility bills, and Cable Television access
are examples. While there are costs attached to each method, the
relative infrequency of such communications would not make them
prohibitively expensive.
