Attachment A <br />Roseville 2021 Legislative Priorities <br />Allow for the use city website or other technology-based methods for official notices <br />State law requires that cities publish certain types of information in a qualified newspaper <br />designated by the city. This information includes ordinances before they become effective, <br />advertisement for bids, public hearing notices, and sample ballots to name a few collectively <br />known as “official notices”. This law was created in 1949 in order to provide citizens with <br />information about its local government from a local source. <br />As time has moved forward, city websites have become a primary source of information about <br />the city, including these official notices. Most cities publish official notices in official <br />newspaper and the city website, a redundancy in work and cost. <br />In Roseville, the local weekly newspaper, the Roseville Review, closed and the city began using <br />a larger metropolitan-wide newspaper for publication of its official notices. <br />Due to these factors, it is time for eliminate the outdated requirement for only publishing official <br />notices in a newspaper. <br />The City of Roseville supports legislation that allows local governments to publish official <br />notices on its website or other technology-based methods in lieu of an official newspaper. <br /> February 8, 2021 Draft <br /> <br /> <br />
