(a) Any person, upon written request and as provided herein, may obtain reasonable advance notification of all meetings at which any specific type of public business is scheduled to be discussed.
Such person may file a written request with the Clerk specifying: the person's name and the address(es) and telephone number(s) at or through which the person can be reached during and outside of business hours; the specific type of public business the discussion of which the person is requesting advance notification of; and the Municipal body that is the subject of such request. Such request shall be effective until the first business day of January next succeeding the filing or until the Clerk receives written notice from such person canceling or modifying such request, whichever is earlier.
Each such written request and its subsequent renewal must be accompanied by cash, or a check or money order payable to the City, in the amount of ten dollars ($10.00) which amount has been determined by Council to represent a reasonable fee to cover costs of providing such advance notification.
Such requests may be modified or extended only by filing a complete new request with the Clerk. A request shall not be deemed to be made unless it is complete in all respects and such request may be conclusively relied upon by the Municipal body that is the subject of such request and the Clerk.
(b) The Clerk shall give such advance notification under this section by written notification or by oral notification, or both, as the Clerk determines.
The contents of written notification under this subsection may be a copy of the agenda of the meeting. Written notification under this subsection may be accomplished by giving advance written notification, by copies of the agendas, of all meetings of the Municipal body that is the subject of such request.
