MEMORANDUM

FROM : Community Development Committee

Re: Community Newsletter

A very important aspect of Municipal Government is that it is
the closest form of Government to the people and this Committee recognizes
the responsibility the City has of keeping the public informed of. the
important decisions made by Council.

To this end the Community Development Committee recommends the
publishing of a Community Newsletter twice a year.

In an effort to minimize expenditure in these times of budget
restraint, it is recommended that the Community Newsletter be sent out

nual Tax Notice and also with the Fall Recreation Progranme,
thus reducing the distribution costs.

It is emphasized that this publication be a newsletter giving
highlights of the various Committee activities and public notices together
with such information which is of interest to the whole community such as
budget information, etc.

It is recommended that Council put aside a total of $1,000. to

cover the printing of the required number of copies of both issues of the
Community Newsletter.
