The Municipal Clerk shall prepare by January
15 of each year a schedule of the regular meetings of the Borough
Council which it is contemplated will be held during that year, showing
the date, time and location of each meeting. Such schedule shall be
filed and retained in the Municipal Clerk's office for public inspection,
shall be mailed to the persons who prepay the prescribed fee as hereinafter
provided and shall be posted on the bulletin board of the Borough
Hall. In the event that the schedule is thereafter revised, the Municipal
Clerk shall, within seven days of any revision, post, mail and submit
such revision in the manner described above.
Prior to each and every meeting of the Mayor
and Borough Council, notice of which has not been posted or designated
as above, the Clerk shall prepare a written advance notice of such
meeting, giving the time, date and location of the meeting, together
with the agenda thereof and a statement as to whether or not formal
action on any matter is contemplated. Such notice shall be posted
in the Borough Hall and retained in the Clerk's office for public
inspection, shall be transmitted to the two newspapers hereinafter
mentioned and shall be mailed to all those persons paying the prescribed
fee therefor. Such notice shall in all cases be given at least 48
hours prior to the meeting and, in cases where notice is being given
of a regular meeting of the Borough Council, shall be given to the
newspapers in sufficient time to permit publication prior to the meeting
in addition to the forty-eight-hour requirement.
The newspapers which shall receive notice are
the Vineland Times Journal and the Franklinville Sentinel. In addition,
any newspaper which requests to be notified shall be so notified by
the Municipal Clerk of all meetings.
Any person, upon the payment of a fee of $10
to the Municipal Clerk, shall receive all notices for the calendar
year. If such request is made during the second six months of any
year, the notices shall be mailed for a six-month period or less upon
prepayment of a fee of $5.
Any person, upon payment of a fee of $5 or $0.75
per page, whichever is greater, to the Clerk of the Borough of Newfield,
shall receive a copy of the minutes of any meeting requested.
