375.12 PROCEEDINGS IN QUALIFIED PAPER WITHIN 30 DAYS; LET BY BID.
    Subdivision 1. Summary; in daily or weekly. The county board shall have the official
proceedings of its sessions published in a qualified newspaper of general circulation in the county.
The publication shall be let annually by contract to the lowest bidder, at the first regular session of
the board in January each year. If the county board determines that publication of a summary
of the proceedings would adequately inform the public of the substance of the proceedings, the
county board may direct that only a summary be published, conforming to the requirements
of section 331A.01, subdivision 10. In each county whose population exceeds 600,000, the
proceedings shall be published in a daily newspaper. The board may reject any offer if, in its
judgment, the public interests require, and may then designate a newspaper without regard to
any rejected offer. In any county whose population exceeds 50,000, and is less than 250,000, the
proceedings may be published in one daily and one weekly newspaper at the county seat. If the
official newspaper of the county ceases to exist for any reason except consolidation with another
newspaper, the county board may designate another newspaper for the remainder of the year. The
publication shall occur within 30 days of the meeting to which the proceedings relate.
    Subd. 2. Small claims totaled. Individualized itemized accounts, claims or demands allowed
by the county board pursuant to section 471.38, subdivision 1, need not be published pursuant to
subdivision 1, if the amount allowed from each claim is $300 or less. The official proceedings
following the itemization of accounts required shall contain a statement showing the total number
of claims that did not exceed $300 and their total dollar amount.
