Item No. 10 <br />memorandum <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br />John Godwin, City Manager <br />FROM: Janice Ellis, City Clerk <br />SUBJECT: DESIGNATION OF AN OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER FOR THE CITY OF <br />PARIS <br />DATE: November 18, 2016 <br />BACKGROUND: Texas Local Government Code Section 52.013 provides for publication of <br />the captions and penalties or ordinances by home rule municipalities. In addition, Section 33 of <br />the Charter requires the publication of the caption or title, including the penalty, of all ordinances <br />to be published in the "official newspaper" of the City of Paris at least twice within ten days of <br />passage within ten days. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: The City of Paris has been publishing notices in the Paris News for many <br />years, primarily because it meets all of the criteria legally required by the State for an officially <br />designated newspaper. <br />BUDGET: There will be no impact, because publications are already budgeted. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve a Resolution designating Paris News as the Official <br />Newspaper for the City of Paris. <br />
