Purpose

To Name the official Sauk County newspaper for the April 2018- April 2020 County board term.

Background

 

Background:  Traditionally the Sauk County Board of Supervisors has named an "Official Sauk County Newspaper,” as authorized by Wis. Stat. § 985.05.  During the course of day-to-day operations various Sauk County departments are required by Statute to complete numerous publications concerning public hearings, open meeting notices, election notices, RFP's, etc.  The County Clerk solicited bids from qualified papers requesting verification of the most recent state certification (“Certification of Legal Notice Rates for Newspapers” as required to be filed with the County Clerk pursuant to Wisconsin State Statutes, Section 985.03(2)), information on paid circulation, and cost for publication. 

 

Your Executive and Legislative Committee, in consultation with the Administrative Coordinator, Corporation Counsel, and County Clerk, reviewed the options available for naming a County newspaper and recommends the Reedsburg Independent as the Official Sauk County newspaper. (The Official Newspaper bid includes the Reedsburg Independent, Star News, and Home News)
