Zoning Decisions This Month

Amendment to FMC Section 2-603 re: publication of legal notices

Deferred.

Bill to amend FMC Section 2-603 removing requirement to publish legal notices specifically in the Fresno Bee and Business Journal, instead allowing publication in any newspaper of general circulation, for ~$50,000 potential savings. Council Member Arias moved to table pending review during upcoming budget hearings, citing concerns the Business Journal targets business owners/CEOs while most notices (CEQA, rezones, CDBG, public hearings) impact the general public.
