THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
BWA staff recommended, and the Board is set to adopt, Resolution 2026-06 to designate the Commercial Recorder as the Authority’s official newspaper for public notices. This replaces the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, following the City of Benbrook’s similar move due to declining circulation and higher advertising costs. The decision locks in the primary legal advertising outlet, but alternate or supplemental digital notice providers and public engagement services may still find openings around BWA’s communications strategy.
Staff report notes anticipated reduction in legal and public notice expenditures and desire to align with the City of Benbrook’s communication practices.

Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
