(A) If a statute gives discretion to a public officer or agency or governmental body as to the method of making an advertisement required by the statute, and if a statute provides that an advertisement may be made either by posting or by newspaper publication, the advertisement shall be made by newspaper publication in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, except as provided in division (B) below.
(B) Any city may, when the cost of the newspaper publication exceeds the cost of postage, supplies, and reproduction for the alternative method of publication, in lieu of newspaper publication of advertisement, substitute delivery of a copy of the advertisement by first class mail to each residence within the publication area. Any city electing to use the alternative publication methods authorized by this section shall forward three copies of its audit report or one copy of its financial statement, whichever is applicable, to the state’s Department of Local Government pursuant to KRS 91A.040 and 424.220.
