A copy 25 shall also be available in the community library, if there is one, or if not, in any other public 26 location which the Council designates. 27 28 In the case of lengthy ordinances, or ordinances that include charts or maps, if the 29 Council determines that publication of the title and a summary of an ordinance would clearly 30 inform the public of the intent and effect of the ordinance, the Council may by a four-fifths (4/5th) 31 vote of its members, direct that only the title of the ordinance and a summary be published, with 32 notice that a printed copy of the ordinance is available for inspection during regular office hours 33 at the office of the Clerk-Administrator. Prior to the publication of the title and summary, the 34 Council shall approve the text of the summary and determine that it clearly informs the public of 35 the intent and effect of the ordinance, and shall further state that the complete text of the 36 ordinance is on file at the office of the Clerk-Administrator. The publishing of the title and 37 summary shall be deemed to fulfill all legal publication requirements as completely as if the 38 entire ordinance had been published. A copy of the publication shall be attached to and filed 39 with the ordinance for reference. To the extent and in the manner provided by law an ordinance 40 may incorporate by reference a statute of Minnesota, a state administrative rule or a regulation, a 41 code or ordinance or part thereof without publishing the material referred to in full, so long as 42 the complete reference to the item is included. (Amended,Ord. 700, 8-26-2002) It is the intent of the Charter Commission that the Council will determine which is less costly. 310483v2 SJR MU210-4
