DATE: December 5, 1990
SUBJECT: PRESS PACKETS
Staff was requested at the November 21, 1990 City
Council meeting to
research the practices of other cities in providing agenda packets to the
press. Following is the information gathered from the eight cities
polled:

The City of Moorpark presently provides, at no charge, complete agenda
packets to the Daily News, Enterprise, Moorpark
News Mirror, News
Chronicle, and L.A. Times. A packet was previously
provided to KNJO
(Radio) but was discontinued because it was not picked
up. The L.A. Times
rarely picks up their packet.
Using a per page copy charge of $.25 (Miscellaneous Fee Schedule
Resolution 90 -707), estimating 24 meetings per year and 200 pages per
agenda, an estimated yearly cost to provide the agenda packet is $1,200.
The City could charge a reduced rate of $.10 per page for the agenda
packet resulting in a $600.00 per year charge.

Honorable City Council
Press Packets
December 5, 1990
Twenty -five agenda packets are currently produced for Council, Staff, the
Library, City Hall Counter (this packet is taken to the foyer at Council
meeting), and press as indicated. The Library copy is now placed in the
book return on Friday evening after the packet is produced so that it is
available to the public Saturday. A policy could be adopted that packets
not picked up for 2 consecutive meetings would be discontinued with a
procedure and /or fee to reinitiate the free or reduced cost packet.
Whatever policy, if any, is established for City Council packets, should
also apply for Planning Commission and Parks & Recreation Commission
agenda packets.
RECOMMENDATION:
Direct staff as deemed appropriate.
