Kebschull stated sending notices by certified mail is not a requirement and regular mail would serve as a proper legal notice at a much lower cost. Commissioner Amen asked how the city would know people have been properly noted. Kebschull stated that in addition to the mailings, signs are posted on the property, notifications are posted twice in the newspaper, and the city website provides notification. All commissioners agreed amending the requirement that notcation of public hearings be sent via certified mail be amended.
