BACKGROUND Pursuant to a directive from the City Commission on January 10, 2002, the City issued RFLI 01- 02-112 on February 14, 2002. In years past, the City had utilized community-based newspapers to publish City supplemental or courtesy public notices on an as -needed rotational basis, and the issuance of the RFLI was to again solicit community-based newspapers interested in publishing supplemental or courtesy public notices. The City now seeks establishment by the City Commission of minimum criteria to be used to qualify community-based newspapers to publish City supplemental or courtesy public notices on an as -needed rotational basis. Upon adoption of the minimum qualifications by the City Commission, the community-based newspapers who responded to the RFLI will be evaluated pursuant to those adopted qualification criteria. These qualification criteria will be utilized to qualify and add community-based newspapers to the List from time to time. All qualified newspapers would be mandated to adhere to the City's requirements regarding placement of supplemental or courtesy public notices. CAG /JSC 02- 469
