SUBJECT: Consider Agreement with the Ventura County Star for Legal
Advertising
BACKGROUND
The Star newspapers announced in June 1996 that they were planning
to institute an immediate 270% rate increase for governmental legal
publications. The City Clerks in Ventura County formed a Task
Force to discuss options and develop a plan to negotiate a more
modest rate increase. Bill Little, Camarillo's City Manager,
volunteered to negotiate on our behalf and over a period of several
months finally reached a formal agreement with the Star.
The attached agreement was drafted by Camarillo's City Attorney and
has also been reviewed by Cheryl Kane. Exhibit A of the agreement
sets forth both the current and proposed rates for legal
advertising. The governmental rate is that which cities and other
governmental agencies pay. while the proposed rate increase�Sare
substantial, they are spread over a four year period. Further, if
a city enters into the attached agreement, they will receive a 15%
discount (also shown in Exhibit A).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Approve the agreement and authorize the Mayor to execute the
agreement
