WHEREAS, the Miami Herald is a major daily newspaper in South Florida that also

Metro sections, and for the required Spanish language election notices, in El Nuevo Herald; and

municipalities may no longer pay for our advertised public notices, as we have always done, at
the rate paid by "not for profit" entities; and
WHEREAS, the Miami Herald has insisted that the City of Sunny Isles Beach must pay
the same advertising rates that are paid by retail businesses; and
WHEREAS, entering into a retail, annual volume contract rate to advertise a minimum
number of times and column inches in the Miami Herald would allow the City to achieve a
partial rate discount; and

publishing medium to legally comply with statutory obligations to inform our residents and
property owners regarding certain City Commission public hearings, and other related matters
regarding the City.
