24 hours a day. The outside lighted bulletin
board we currently use does not comply since
it is outside City. Hall and accessible to the
public 24 hours a day. In order to comply,
staff recommends we post all official notifies
on the west windows of the Council Chamber
in City Hall which can be viewed by the public
24 hours a day. Staff will continue to post
on the outside bulletin board as well.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
