Dear Mr. Jul l i e, mayor and council persons:
The Eden Prairie News hereby requests designation as the official
newspaper for the City of Eden Prairie public notices in 1985.
As you may know, the 1984 session of the Minnesota Legislature enacted
the Public Notice Reform Bill . This enactment caused many changes with
respect to the publication of public notices, commonly called "legals ."
One of the more important changes in the law, which formerly allowed
the state to establish the line rate, is that newspapers are now allowed
to charge the equivalent of the lowest classified ad rate paid by
commercial users for comparable space.
Our lowest classified ad rate is $6 per column inch. We propose that the
legal .rate for the City of Eden Prairie be $4.16 per column inch.
Subsequent insertions receive a 10-percent discount.
These rates represent an increase of 10 percent. The legal rates have not
increased since 1980, when the state allowed a 5.9-percent increase.
I might also note that the Eden Prairie News has met the ,guidelines which
the state has set for newspapers qualified to print public notices.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. We hope we may continue to
be of service to the city .
Sincerely,
Mark Weber
