(a) A person, upon written request and as provided in this section, may obtain reasonable advance notification of all meetings at which a specific type of public business is scheduled to be discussed.
(b) Such person may file a written request with the Clerk of Council specifying:
(1) The person's name, and the address and telephone number at or through which the person can be reached during and outside of business hours;
(2) The specific type of public business the discussion of which the person is requesting advance notification;
(3) The Municipal body that is the subject of such request; and
(4) The number of calendar months (not to exceed three) which the request covers.
Such request may be canceled if such person requests the Clerk to do so.
(c) Each such written request must be accompanied by cash, or a check or money order payable to the City, in a specified amount for each month covered by the request, which amount has been determined by Council to represent a reasonable fee to cover costs of providing such advance notification.
(d) Any such request may be modified or extended only by filing a new request with the Clerk. A request shall not be deemed to be made unless it is complete in all respects and unless such request may be conclusively relied on by the City, the Municipal body that is the subject of such request and the Clerk.
(e) The Clerk shall give the advance notification provided for in this section in writing or orally, or both, as the Clerk determines.
(f) The contents of the written notification may be a copy of the agenda of the meeting, and written notification under subsection (e) hereof may be accomplished by providing copies of the agendas, in advance, of all meetings of the Municipal body that is the subject of such request.
