Summary

After an RFP that returned a single bidder, the council adopted Resolution 2026-10 naming the USA Today Company (publisher of the Kitsap Sun) as Poulsbo's official newspaper for Aug. 1, 2026–July 31, 2031.

City staff said state law requires naming an official city newspaper and presented Resolution 2026-10 following an RFP that produced one bidder. The recommended vendor is the USA Today Company, publisher of the Kitsap Sun; the contract term will run from Aug. 1, 2026 through July 31, 2031 with the same advertising rates retained.

Council moved and approved the resolution on the consent motion without substantive discussion. The mayor noted the Kitsap Sun coincidentally had broad coverage of Poulsbo in the paper that day.
