Committee drops separate mailing for community letter, will place year‑end letter in pipeline and bill

Committee members reviewed the long‑planned community letter and agreed to change delivery because the communications budget will not cover magnets or a separate mailing.

Linda Butler said the magnet idea was attractive but not feasible given current budget constraints and advised the committee to put the letter in the pipeline and include a version with the bill. She recommended a year‑end single letter (late November) that would summarize audits, welcome the new general manager and preview 2027 priorities.

Members discussed whether inserting an item with bills would materially increase postage and concluded any extra cost would be negligible. The committee also discussed content (a short security update, 10 essential rules, and a profile of the incoming general manager) and agreed staff should assemble draft text for the next meeting. They also discussed QR codes and in‑app links to reach younger residents.
