BACKGROUND:
The General Services Administration Department has reviewed the
type of ads and advertising costs incurred by the City of Miami
for 1987.
On December 11, 1986, the City Commission approved Resolution No.
66--998 which provided that the Miami News be utilized for
advertising purposes and further authorized that the Miami Herald
could also be used for some advertising, with approval of the
City Manager. Additional newspapers had been selected by the
City Commission on January 7, 1986, Resolution No. 85-1182, and
have been utilized during 1987. Below is a summary of the number
and type of ads placed in each of the newspapers during 1987.

The policy of utilizing the Miami News regularly, with only
specially approved advertising in the Miami Herald, was adopted
last year, and has resulted in considerable savings. During the
period of January through October, 1986 a total of $206#780 was
paid to the Miami Herald, far exceeding the total of $117,726
paid to all newspapers in 1987. Therefore, it is recommended
that this policy be continued in 1988.
Adoption of the attached resolution listing such newspapers,
will supersede all previous resolutions approving local
newspapers for advertising by the City of Miami. This selection
takes into consideration pending applications for newspaper
advertising.
