Nfinnesota Department of Revenue Selecting Newspapers for Publication of Budget Hearing Notice July 28, 1989 (Numbered for reference) In late June you received a letter with instructions entitled Summary of Property Tax Developments and Instructions to Counties, Cities with Populations over 2,500 and School Districts dated June 23, 1989. The Department of Revenue is now eliminating a portion of those instructions which concerned the selection of newspapers in which to publish budget and /or levy hearing notices, and it is replacing another portion. The following instructions requiring publication of a notice announcing the reconvening of a recessed meeting are eliminated: for counties: for school districts: for cities with populations over 2,500: paragraph 20, sections h and i paragraph 6, sections g and h paragraph 14, sections g and h The instructions establishing criteria for selection of a newspaper or newspapers in which to publish notice of budget and /or levy hearings are replaced with the instructions given below. Since counties theoretically must notify every citizen in the county and school districts must notify every citizen in the school district, and since counties and school districts often cover large geographic areas, the new instructions may require local governments outside the Twin Cities area to publish the notice in more than one newspaper. The following instructions are replaced with the instructions given below: for counties: for school districts: for cities with populations over 2,500: paragraph 20, sections c and d paragraph 6, sections b and c paragraph 14, sections b and c 1 Hennepin, Ramsey, Dakota, Washington, Anoka, Carver and Scott counties, all school districts located within one or more of these counties and not located partly in any other county, and all cities with populations over 2,500 located in these counties.
