State municipal finance laws set requirements for budget public hearings.
Cedar Valley must comply with these to ensure a valid adoption.

**Notice:** Advance notice of the hearing—typically 7 to 14 days—must be
published in a newspaper of general circulation or by other statutorily
approved means. Include the date, time, location, and subject.

**Content of Notice:** The notice should identify that a public hearing will
be held on the proposed budget, and indicate where the full document may be
inspected. Some states require a summary of key figures.

**Conduct of Hearing:** The hearing must allow interested persons to speak.
Record comments and council responses. Document attendance and any written
submissions. The hearing may be combined with the adoption meeting or
separate, depending on state law.

**Documentation:** Retain the published notice, sign-in sheets, and minutes
for audit and legal compliance. Consult the city attorney on jurisdiction-
specific requirements.
