4 <br />be based upon the provisions of an emergency ordinance until twenty-four hours after the ordinance <br />has been adopted, filed with the Clerk-Administrator, and has either been posted in three <br />conspicuous places in the City, or published as provided for in this Charter, or the person charged <br />with violation thereof had actual notice of the ordinance prior to the act or omission resulting in the <br />prosecution. <br /> <br /> Section 3.07. Signing, and Publication of Ordinances. Every ordinance adopted by the <br />Council shall be signed by the Mayor, and attested to, filed and preserved by the <br />Clerk-Administrator. Every ordinance shall be published at least once in the official newspaper as <br />soon as practicable, either in its complete form preceded by a summary of its contents or as a title <br />and summary.1 <br /> <br />The Ordinance or the Ordinance Title and Summary shall be published in a body type no <br />smaller than brevier or eight-point type. A copy of any new ordinance may be obtained from the <br />City at no cost. The entire text of the ordinance shall be posted on the City’s web site, if there is <br />one, in a manner that can be identifiable by subject matter or ordinance number. A copy shall <br />also be available in the community library, if there is one, or if not, in any other public location <br />which the Council designates. <br /> <br />In the case of lengthy ordinances, or ordinances that include charts or maps, if the <br />Council determines that publication of the title and a summary of an ordinance would clearly <br />inform the public of the intent and effect of the ordinance, the Council may by a four-fifths vote <br />of its members, direct that only the title of the ordinance and a summary be published, with <br />notice that a printed copy of the ordinance is available for inspection during regular office hours <br />at the office of the Clerk-Administrator. Prior to the publication of the title and summary, the <br />Council shall approve the text of the summary and determine that it clearly informs the public of <br />the intent and effect of the ordinance, and shall further state that the complete text of the <br />ordinance is on file at the office of the Clerk-Administrator. The publishing of the title and <br />summary shall be deemed to fulfill all legal publication requirements as completely as if the <br />entire ordinance had been published. A copy of the publication shall be attached to and filed <br />with the ordinance for reference. To the extent and in the manner prohibited by law an ordinance <br />may incorporate by reference a statute of Minnesota, a state administrative rule or a regulation, a <br />code or ordinance or part thereof without publishing the material referred to in full, so long as the <br />complete reference to the item is included. (Amended, Ord. 700, 8-26-2002) <br /> <br /> Section 3.08. Procedure on Resolutions. Every resolution shall be presented in writing and <br />read in full before adoption, unless the reading is dispensed with by unanimous consent of the <br />Council. <br /> <br /> Section 3.09. When Ordinances and Resolutions Take Effect. Every resolution and <br />emergency ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its adoption or at such later date as it <br />specifies. Every other ordinance shall take effect thirty days after its publication or at such later date <br />as it specifies. <br /> <br /> Section 3.10. Amendment and Repeal of Ordinances and Resolutions. <br /> <br /> Subdivision 1. An ordinance or resolution which repeals all or part of a previous ordinance <br />or resolution shall give the number, if any, and the title of the ordinance or resolution to be repealed <br />in whole or in part. No ordinance or resolution shall be amended by reference to the title alone, but <br /> <br />1 It is the intent of the Charter Commission that the Council will determine which is less costly.
