NEW BUSINESS
Review Bid for Official City Newspaper
Discussion took place regarding the only bid received from CNI Newspapers. The
Mayor stated that unless the bid is considered to be noneffective, the bid shall be
awarded according to the statutes. City officials have been very dissatisfied with the
reporting accuracy of the Muskego Sun. Clerk-Treasurer Marenda stated other
publications, such as the Journal-Sentinel and Waukesha Freeman, do not meet the
criteria to submit a bid to be the City’s official newspaper. She noted that the Sun has
done an accurate job of publishing the City’s legal notices. Ald. Salentine moved to
send the issue to the Common Council without a recommendation. Ald. Sanders
seconded; motion carried.
