Study Commission endorses regular newspaper column, considers paid notices and physical outreach
Summary
Members agreed in principle to a monthly 500-word column in the local newspaper, discussed potential use of paid public notices and flyers, and asked the column details be returned to the commission with costs.
The Granite County Study Commission discussed ways to increase public awareness of its work and agreed in principle to publish a monthly column in the local newspaper, with a suggested limit of 500 words.
"I kinda like that idea of a column limited to 500 words," one member said, noting the column could carry meeting notices and summaries. The managing editor of the local paper had reportedly agreed to a regular column; commissioners said a monthly cadence could help notify the public in advance about upcoming meetings and topics.
Members also discussed whether to purchase paid public notices and to distribute printed flyers at public locations such as the post office. "The column might be an economical way of doing that," a member said. Commissioners asked for a report back with details on cost, format, and timing before finalizing any spending decision.
Next steps: The member leading the outreach effort will return to the commission with specific pricing, publication schedule and suggested text length for the column and with recommendations about whether to use paid public notices or printed flyers.
