Summary

Deputy county clerk Courtney Lyons told commissioners the county will move from per-meeting newspaper notices to a published meeting schedule four times a year in response to state law LB 596; the board approved the resolution on July 28.

Courtney Lyons, deputy county clerk, presented a resolution to update Lancaster County's meeting-notice procedures following the passage of Nebraska Legislative Bill 596. Lyons said the resolution reflects the change required under LB 596 and "instead of notice for each meeting in the paper, it'll be the regular schedule we published 4 times per year in the paper," which the board approved.

The change will alter how the county provides public notice of board meetings, replacing the prior practice of per-meeting newspaper notices with a quarterly published schedule of meeting dates. Commissioners approved the resolution by roll call at the July 28 meeting.
