Apex saved $13k with online notices
Submitted by ryanteaguebeckwith on 2009-03-17 13:57The town of Apex saved $13,000 with online notices.
About a year ago, Town Clerk Georgia Evangelist heard that the city of Raleigh was publishing its meeting notices online.
She decided to try a similar program for the town of Apex, which is near Research Triangle Park in Wake County.
Apex and several other Wake towns got permission from a special bill in the legislature last year to publish online, instead of in the local newspaper. A bill filed this year would expand the program statewide.
Evangelist said the town still occasionally advertises in the Apex Herald and The News & Observer. It also sends letters to neighbors who may be affected.
"We still advertise in the paper when it's something we need to get our more widely, like a pre-budget hearing," she said.'
Update: Cary spokeswoman Susan Moran estimated the town spends $20,000 a year on online notices, although it still advertises in the local newspapers as well.
