(A) (1) The Clerk-Treasurer is hereby authorized to sell advertisements in the Georgetown Gazette. Said advertisements shall be no larger than one-fourth of an eight and one-half inch by 11 inch page. Said advertisement charge shall only pay for one edition of the Georgetown Gazette; each publication date would require a second purchase of advertising space.
(2) The one-fourth of a page advertisement shall sell for $100. A one-eighth of a page advertisement, or business card size advertisement, shall sell for $50.
(B) (1) All advertisements are subject to the approval of the Georgetown Gazette editors, which are the Town Council members and the Clerk-Treasurer. This approval process is necessary to protect the integrity and quality of the newsletter.
(2) (a) Since the Georgetown Gazette is published periodically, the dates and frequency of publication are set at the sole discretion of the Town Council and Clerk-Treasurer.
(b) A potential advertiser, therefore, can place an advertisement, but cannot dictate when said advertisement shall appear.
(c) The town’s staff will do their best to prepare the Georgetown Gazette in a timely fashion, but the timeliness must be primarily based on news items to share, and not solely on the fact that there are advertisements to be printed.
