§ 21.14-1403. Subscription Rights.

 A. Any citizen shall have the right to be mailed, contemporaneous with its posting, a copy of any notice required to be given the public by this Charter, at a reasonable charge to be fixed by the Township.

 B. Any citizen shall have the right to receive by subscription copies of all ordinances, all ordinances of a particular category or particular ordinances upon either their proposal or passage, or to receive by mail on request a copy of any specific ordinance, at a reasonable charge or reasonable charges as fixed by the Township.

 C. Any citizen shall have the right to receive by mail on request a copy of minutes of the Board or its committees at a reasonable charge to be fixed by the Township.

 D. ‘‘Reasonable charge’’ as used in this Charter to refer to charges by the Township for documents or notices shall not exceed the actual costs, direct and indirect, of preparing and/or disseminating the described notices or documents.

 E. An inadvertant failure to provide notices or documents as required by this section shall not impose any liability on the Township or its representatives in favor of third parties, nor shall it invalidate any official action.

   Commentary: : This section affords to each citizen the right to receive copies of notices, ordinances and minutes. The Board may pass the cost of such service through to the citizens requesting it; it is assumed that such charge nonetheless will not be so prohibitive as unreasonably to discourage or defeat the utilization by citizens of the rights herein provided.
