     331A.03 Where notice published. 

    Subdivision 1.    Generally.  Except as provided in 
 subdivision 2, a public notice shall be published in a qualified 
 newspaper, and except as otherwise provided by law, in one that 
 is likely to give notice in the affected area or to whom it is 
 directed.  When a statute or other law requires publication in a 
 newspaper located in a designated municipality or area and no 
 qualified newspaper is located there, publication shall be made 
 in a qualified newspaper likely to give notice unless the 
 particular statute or law expressly provides otherwise.  If no 
 qualified newspaper exists, then publication is not required.  

    Subd. 2.    Exception; certain cities of the fourth class. 
  A public notice required to be published by a statutory or 
 home rule charter city of the fourth class located in the 
 metropolitan area defined in section 473.121, subdivision 2, is 
 not required to be published in a qualified newspaper if there 
 is no qualified nondaily newspaper of general circulation in the 
 city, provided the notice is printed in a newsletter or similar 
 printed means of giving notice that is prepared by the city and 
 either mailed or delivered to each household in the city.
