Below is a listing of the required public notices issued by the City of Lobelville, TN, and associated interests.

When the local county government is considering or conducting any actions that may prompt its citizens to take action, the people must have adequate public notice. Traditionally, newspapers have provided such services, but the increasing use of online services mandates that local government websites post such notices. These notices alert citizens to their right to comment. 

Public notices serve as a conduit of information from the government to the public, thus allowing citizens to serve as watchdogs for fraud and incompetence. By publishing financial reports, citizens can see if tax dollars are being wasted. Further, through public notices, citizens can make their voices heard in public hearings and meetings. 

Such notices include

• Publication of the city budget
• Public hearings
• Notice of proposed changes to city programs
• Bids for services, purchases, and other business-related activities. People have the right and opportunity to participate in the city's procurement process.
• Notices by non-governmental entities using public powers or institutions.

The mayor and aldermen meet regularly. These are the announcements of the meetings and associated packets of information, including the meeting agendas and supporting documents.

The City of Lobelville creates additional documents that the public may want. These include

• Bid Forms
• Request for Information
• Financial Reports
• Other Official Documents
