Mayor Spencer inquired whether staff recommends the Alameda Journal this year, to which the City Clerk responded in the affirmative. Vice Mayor Vella stated factual reporting is really important; it is a bit ironic that the City has a contract with a paper that has sloppy reporting; she has a problem spending public dollars for said reason; she was disconcerted only two bids were submitted. Councilmember Oddie concurred with Vice Mayor Vella; stated there is nothing responsible about the Bay Area News Group; he would much rather have public money go to a local newspaper. Councilmember Matarrese moved approval of awarding the legal advertising contract to the Alameda Sun. Vice Mayor Vella seconded the motion. Under discussion and in response to Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft's inquiry, the City Clerk stated there have been some publication errors with the Alameda Sun.
