Discussion regarding the Community Newsletter. <br /> <br />Action: City Manager Cohen said this discussion is regarding the name for our new <br />quarterly newsletter that was inspired by Vice Mayor Thaler. We intend on putting out three <br />(3) informative news issues a year, and a blockbuster issue that contains the Mayor's State of <br />the City Address, and so that would be four (4) issues a year. Mayor Edelcup said that he <br />delivers the State of the City Address in January and it is published in the Newspaper, it is <br />the Summer Update that is mailed to everyone. Cultural and Human Services Director Susan <br />Simpson said in years past the Mayor did a summer time Annual Report that was on City <br />letterhead and mailed to every registered voter in the City. <br /> <br />Mayor Edelcup asked what the name of the newsletter would be, and Ms. Simpson said <br />"SIBislander" in keeping with the theme that we have already established with using the little <br />i for information and she showed an example of what it would look like. Commissioner <br />Aelion said he takes issue with it. Ms. Simpson gave a little history on how this name came <br />to be; Commissioner Gatto had volunteered to help them and there were several different <br />names suggested. Vice Mayor Thaler had given her some direction in that he would like <br />something light and airy, and we are trying to stick with the fact that we are an island. <br />Islander ties into "Florida's Rivera", and that is how we came up with the name. We also ran <br />the name past City Attorney Ottinot who did some research to make sure it was legal to use <br />that name. For the record, Ms. Simpson met with Commissioner Gatto and Vice Mayor <br />Thaler individually. <br /> <br />Mayor Edelcup asked if there were any other choices out there, and Ms. Simpson said yes <br />there were several including "insider", "Florida's Riviera Review", and "Ocean Breeze". <br />City Manager Cohen asked when the next issue is to go out, and Ms. Simpson said they are <br />supposed to go to print by the end of September for mailing to the homes by the first week of <br />October. City Manager Cohen said we can always change the name, and you don't have to <br />approve islander tonight, we are bringing it forward to you. Vice Mayor Thaler asked that a <br />name be put on it, if it is islander it is, if you want to change it somewhere down the line we <br />can do that. Commissioner Gatto said they did give it a lot of thought. <br /> <br />4 <br />
