COUNCIL ACTION — RESOLUTION NO. R2013-111 — A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PEARLAND, TEXAS, AWARDING A BID FOR THE
OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER OF RECORD FOR PUBLISHING CITY LEGAL NOTICES.
Mr. Bill Eisen, City Manager.
Councilmember Hill made the motion, seconded by Councilmember Sherman, to
approve Resolution No. R2013-111.
CITIZENS:
Laura Emmons, Publisher and Owner of the Reporter Newspaper, addressed Council
stating she might have been confused regarding the bid process this year. She stated
the Reporter has been the City's official newspaper for 15 years. The other newspaper
is 6 columns and the Reporter is 9 columns. She stated she asked the Purchasing
department if the Reporter's bid could be submitted both ways; and was told to submit
the bid the way it was submitted last year. She stated the comparison was not apples to
apples; it was apples to oranges because the other newspaper is 6 columns and the
Reporter is 9 columns. She further stated if you are going out for a bid, it needs to be
equal. She further stated whatever format the City wants to use the Reporter is capable
of using that format.
City Manager Bill Eisen reported this is a process the City has to designate an official
Newspaper. He stated it is the publication in which the City uses to advertise legal
notices. He stated the Pearland Journal has the more advantageous pricing for the City.
The higher column inch rate submitted by the Journal is more than offset by their wider
column, which results in a lower quantity of vertical column inches per advertisement,
which is the basis for advertising billings. Both bidders offer the capability to post City
notices to their respective websites at no cost, but the Journal has a much more
significant internet presence, with average monthly web "hits" in excess of 50,000, while
the Reporter News was unable to provide a quantifiable number of hits.
Purchasing Officer Bob Pearce reported the Reporter News has given the City
outstanding service for many years. He stated his staff interpreted it as the sample was
going to be presented one way; the City would price it that way, but it's going to be
published in the narrow 9 column which will result in a higher invoice to the City. He
stated his staff told her to provide the sample the way it is going to appear in the paper
so it can be priced appropriately.
Councilmember Sherman stated it is very important the City has an official newspaper
that reaches every resident in Pearland. He further stated he believes going with the
Journal as the City's official newspaper is the right move.
Councilmember Ordeneaux stated he could see a major difference between the
Reporter and Journal newspaper websites. He further stated the future of this is online
postings. He stated the availability to the public falls in the Journal's favor.
Discussion ensued between Council and Purchasing Officer Bob Pearce regarding the
differences of cost between the two bids.
Page 8 of 12 — 7/22/2013
Councilmember Sherman stated he appreciated the discussion regarding columns; but
the simple fact is a large percentage of our residents have the right to know what is
going on in our City.
Mayor Pro -Tem Hill stated he agrees the Journal Newspaper should be the City's
official newspaper.
Voting "Aye" Councilmembers Ordeneaux, Hill, Sherman, and Carbone.
