Councilman Brandt stated that, in view of the horrendous problems facing the Council, he could only support on a very limited basis some method of communication, perhaps on the back of the utility bill, or a sheet included with it, some- thing that would cost significantly less than the present News Story. Mrs. Boer stated that the contractor should be penalized for failure to deliver under the terms of the contract. She also suggested that the News Story should be printed only in English, or, in fairness to all, in six or seven other languages, not just Spanish and English. Councilman Bricken stated that the next three months would provide a good opportunity to test the news media to see if the City can communicate the same information through them, so that a current evaluation of the local newspapers' ability to communicate the same kind of information will be available when the News Story is considered at Budget sessions. The report from the Public Information Officer was received and filed, and staff was instructed to continue its research to improve the delivery system and to reduce the cost of the system, on motion of Councilman Ward, seconded by Council- man Brandt, and carried unanimously (7-0).
