Commission votes to stop paid newspaper publication of minutes, move postings to county website
Summary
The commission voted to end paid newspaper publication of county minutes and to post minutes and agendas on the county website while keeping printed copies available at county offices for residents without internet access.
Commissioners voted to stop paying for newspaper publication of meeting minutes and to post minutes and agendas on the county website going forward.
Committee member (S2) moved that the county no longer pay to publish minutes in the newspaper and instead post minutes on the county website and make printed copies available at the county office for residents without internet access. The motion passed unanimously. Commissioners discussed access points (library window, post office and other public locations) to ensure residents can obtain printed copies if needed.
The change came after clerk and staff outreach to neighboring counties about publication practices and cost; the board directed staff to publish agendas and minutes on the county website and to provide printed copies upon request.
