CITY HALL UPDATES:
A. Mailer
- The commission discussed various aspects of sending out a mailer to the community. They discussed the
overall aesthetic goal of the mailer, specifically noting that it should be eye-catching and something the com-
munity would want to hold on to. The commission further discussed details such as the size of the mailer, as
well as the logo that would/ could be used to help the mailer stand out more in the average citizen’s mail pile.
- Mark McAvoy, City Administrator, questioned where the funds for this mailer would be coming from as the
commission’s 2023 funds have already been tentatively allocated for the ZenCity software. Commissioner Sa-
ba requested that Mark speak with Mayor Kaminskas to see what the possibility of funding would be.
- It was decided that further discussion will take place at the next meeting, which will include a proposed fund-
ing source as recommended by Mark McAvoy.

- Moved to the March 15th, 2023 meeting, per the motion made at the beginning of the meeting.
