(a) Any person, upon written request and as provided in this section, 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 Municipal Clerk specifying: 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; the specific type of public business the discussion of which the person is requesting advance notification of; the Municipal body that is the subject of such request; and the number of calendar months, not to exceed twelve, which the request covers. Such request may be canceled by written request from such person to the Clerk.
The Clerk shall provide a standard form to be used for such requests. Such form shall set forth the Municipal bodies for which request for notification of meetings is made.
Each such written request shall be accompanied by a cash deposit of one dollar ($1.00) for each month covered by the request, such cash deposit representing a reasonable fee to cover the costs of providing such advance notifications.
Such notification requests may be modified or extended only by filing a complete new request upon a standard form as above set forth. A request shall not be deemed to have been made unless it is completed in all respects, including the deposit for costs as above set forth upon the presentation of the completed request form to the Clerk, and such a completed request may be conclusively relied upon by the City, the Municipal body that is the subject of such request and the Clerk.
(b) The contents of written notification as provided in this section may be a copy of the agenda of the meeting. Written notification as provided in this section may be accomplished by giving advance copies of the agendas of all meetings of the Municipal body that is the subject of such request.
