Commission agrees to share cost of one-time municipal mailing with Valley News
Summary
The commission voted to split a once-a-year mailing with the Valley News to deliver a newspaper to every Canton residence; the city’s share was discussed as roughly $320 for a single mailing and commissioners preferred the fall breast-cancer awareness edition.
The Canton City Commission approved sharing the cost of a one-time mailing by the Valley News that sends a newspaper to each Canton address.
Staff said the Valley News already distributes such a mailing annually and the newspaper suggested the city split the postage cost. The commission discussed timing and agreed the fall (October) distribution that coincides with a breast-cancer awareness issue would be a sensible time to participate; the staff estimate discussed at the meeting for the city’s portion was $320 for the one-time mailing.
A motion to split the cost and participate in the Valley News mailing passed by roll call. Commissioners said the mailing will remind residents where to find commission minutes and local news and could encourage subscriptions.
Vote recorded: unanimous approval.
