Why not just reduce the amount authorized for reimbursement to (near)zero? In this age of automated publishing, the cost of posting is negligibly small. It makes sense to be frugal, even when hewing to public standards.

The Town of Atherton has decided to continue to fulfill these notice requirements in spite of the state action - hopefully other local entities will do the same.

" hopefully other local entities will do the same."
I wouldn't count on it Peter. Maybe initially, but when they figure out what they can get away with, it will go away in name of "saving the taxpayers money."

As a Member of the Sequoia Healthcare District Board of Directors, I am unaware of any reimbursement for Brown Act compliance. It is not unreasonable to expect such compliance to be funded by each agency from tax revenue collected. Their taxing ability derives from the State.
