Terrace Park council adopts ordinance to centralize public postings on village website

The Village of Terrace Park council unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 2-1-24 on a third reading to amend section 10.19(a) of the Terrace Park codified ordinances and move official postings from five neighborhood bulletin boards to the village website and the community building.

An unidentified council member introducing the ordinance said the change "moves our notifications from the 5 boards to the website and the community building," adding that the change "does not mean that we can't put a sign up on the green at a later date." After a second and recorded affirmatives, the mayor announced the ordinance "has passed and will become law in 30 days."

Councilors asked follow-up questions about maintaining a physical posting for walk-by visibility. One councilor asked whether an existing board could be physically moved to the green; the council discussed placing a smaller board near a high-traffic corner to preserve on-site visibility for residents who prefer a physical notice.

The ordinance is intended to modernize notice distribution while preserving the option of on-site signage when needed. The council did not specify any additional funding or an implementation timetable in the meeting record.
