Horton City Hall
(KNZA)--The Horton City Commission has voted to rescinded a charter ordinance approved earlier this year designating the city's website as the official publication for legal notices instead of the newspaper.
The Commission took the action when they meet Monday evening after a valid protest petition was filed.
The Commission decided against proceeding with a special election because of the cost.
The Commission approved the charter ordinance in April as a cost cutting measure.
The city spent nearly $2,700 last year on publications and about $3,200 in 2023.
The Horton Headlight organized the petition drive. A newspaper representative said they were concerned that not everyone has the internet and might not be able to access the information because it is not in the paper.
