Greenacres council approves resolution allowing electronic publication of legal notices
Summary
The City Council approved Resolution 2025-03 to permit the city to publish required legal and public notices electronically via a Palm Beach County website after the local paper ceased operations and newspaper costs rose.
The City Council of Greenacres on a voice vote approved Resolution 2025-03, authorizing staff to publish the city's required legal and public notices electronically via a website maintained by Palm Beach County.
City Attorney (unnamed) told the council that Florida law requires publication of certain notices and that the Lake Worth Herald, the newspaper Greenacres had used, ceased operations in December 2024. The attorney said the Florida Legislature authorized electronic advertising in about 2022 and that using the county'maintained website is expected to be less expensive on a per-ad basis than using another local newspaper.
The council did not request additional analysis before voting. Councilmember Busquay moved approval; Deputy Mayor Dugo seconded. The mayor called the question; all present voted "aye." The motion carried.
The resolution authorizes staff to put notices on the county website and does not specify limits or exact costs in the discussion recorded on the meeting transcript. Council members did not record a request for a follow-up report in the meeting minutes provided.
Ending: The change will take effect when staff implements the county electronic-notice option; any follow-up about comparative costs or implementation details was not specified in the meeting record.
