Waite Park staff to launch monthly electronic newsletter with mayor's video segment
Summary
City staff announced a new monthly electronic newsletter starting in February that will include a short video 'mayor's minute' and links on the city website; residents can sign up and the city will include it in utility bills for those without online access.
City staff announced plans to begin a monthly electronic newsletter intended to share department updates and brief mayoral messages.
A staff member told the council the newsletter’s first issue will be released in February and that it will combine written department updates with short video segments introducing the mayor’s monthly message. "We're like I said, we're hoping to have it out the beginning of each month," the presenter said. The city plans to host the newsletter on its website and provide sign-up instructions; staff also said some material will be included with utility bills to reach residents who do not receive the electronic mailings.
Why it matters: The newsletter is an additional outreach channel to inform residents about city activities and to create links between video and written information. Staff said they are working with a vendor (Anderson Hughes) on the production and distribution.
Details: The presenter asked council members to forward suggestions to staff and Ken (staff lead for mayoral video introductions). No costs, subscription requirements, or content policy details were provided during the meeting.
Ending: Staff will return with the newsletter launch and sign-up details; no formal council action was required or taken.
