(b) The publication of ordinances, as required by subdivision (a),
may be satisfied by either of the following actions:

amendment and the official shall post in the office of the board a
certified copy of the full text of the adopted ordinance or amendment
along with the names of those directors voting for and against the

display advertisement of at least one-quarter of a page in a
newspaper of general circulation in the county shall be published at
least five days prior to the board meeting at which the proposed
