(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.
(1) Such person may file a written request with the Clerk-Treasurer specifying: the person's name, and the address(s) 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, the Municipal Body that is the subject of such request, and the number of calendar months not to exceed six, which the request covers. Such request may be cancelled by request from such person to the Clerk.
(2) Each such written request must be accompanied by cash, or a check or money order payable to the Village, in the amount of twenty dollars ($20.00) for each month covered by the request, which amount has been determined by the Council to represent a reasonable fee to cover costs of providing such advance notification.
(3) Such requests may be modified or extended only by filing a complete new request with the Clerk-Treasurer. A request shall not be deemed to be made unless it is complete in all respects, and such request may be conclusively relied on by the Village, the Municipal Body that is subject of such request, and the Clerk-Treasurer.
(b) The Clerk-Treasurer shall give such advance notification under this section by written notification, or by oral notification, or both, as the Clerk-Treasurer determines. The contents of the written notification may be a copy of the agenda of the meeting. Written notification 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 requests.
