The governing body of each municipality must publish the full accounts of its meetings. The publication is to appear in the official newspaper of the municipality, or if there is no official newspaper, any legal newspaper which serves the municipality. The proceedings must be published within thirty days after each meeting(§9-18-1). The publication must include a detailed statement of all expenditures of money, showing the names of all persons who received remuneration as well as the service provided (§9-19-1). It is further required that the finance officer deliver a copy of the proceedings to be published in the official newspaper within one week after the meeting (§9-18-1.1).

If the material is not posted to the governing body’s website, at least one copy of the printed material shall be available in the meeting room for inspection by any person while the governing body is considering the printed material.
