Regarding the Public Notice as indicated in 26.45, I do like the change not requiring the publishing of the goal in three publications (1) General Circulation, (2) Trade Journal, and (3) Minority-Focused Publication as this will definitely represent a cost savings to the Sponsor. Publishing the goal on the Sponsor's web site is a good idea, however, it should be noted that some of the smaller communities unfortunately do not have web sites. If this is the case, I would assume that the Sponsor could choose to place a public notice in their General Circulation - Official Journal.
