REQUEST: APPROVAL OF $31,000 EXPENDITURE FOR POSTAGE FOR
THE BRIGHTSIDE NEWSLETTER FOR FISCAL YEAR 2012/2013
SUBMITTED BY: David Hermann, Management Analyst
CONTRACTOR: United States Postal Service
Palm Desert, CA 92260
DATE: May 24, 2012
Recommendation
By Minute Motion: Approve the expenditure of $31,000 for the United
States Postal Service to cover a year's worth of postage for mailing of the
bimonthly BrightSide newsletter. Funds have been included in the
proposed budget for 2012/2013 in Account No. 110-4417-414-3026.
Backaround
The cost for mailing the BrightSide newsletter is expected to average approximately
$5,000 per issue at current U.S. Postal Service rates. The newsletter is mailed six times
a year at a bulk rate of 14.2 cents per piece to approximately 35,000 Palm Desert
households and businesses every other month.
Fiscal Analysis
Approval of this expenditure will ensure delivery of the City's newsletter. The fiscal
impact is $31,000 to the general fund, $2,600 less than approved last year. Funds have
been included in the proposed budget for 2012/2013; Account No. 110-4417-414-3026.
