(3) All moneys paid out by the municipality as compensation for personal services, giving the name of each person to whom moneys were paid and the total amount paid to each person from each account, except that the treasurer may elect to report the compensation for personal services of all personnel by name, listing each employee in one of the following categories:
(A) under $25,000.00;

In municipalities with a population of less than 500 in which no newspaper is published, however, publication may be made by posting a copy of the account in 3 prominent places within the municipality.
