The Council shall designate one or more County newspapers of record and shall designate
two or more primary sources of County maintained electronic media available to the
public for the publication and transmission of official County notices. Such designation
shall be for at least one year and shall, insofar as possible, provide County-wide
access. At least four weeks' public notice shall be given prior to any change in newspapers
of record. Where a newspaper of record is sold to or merged with another newspaper,
the designation shall continue in the new newspaper if circulation is continued to
the previous subscribers, unless the designation is declined by the paper. Where the
circulation of a newspaper of record is not continued, or the designation is declined,
for any reason, the County Council may designate another newspaper of record without
public notice for a temporary or permanent period.
