Ordinance procedure <br />Statutory cities may pass an ordinance on a single reading at the same meeting <br />that the ordinance first comes before the council. The ordinance must be published <br />in full or in sununary form in the local newspaper. Statutory cities may, but do not <br />need to, require several readings and a lapse of time between readings. Charters <br />may or may not provide for publication, and they may impose other restrictions on <br />the ordinance process. Statutory cities may not submit ordinances to the people <br />under the initiative and referendum process; home nrle charters may provide for <br />initiative and referendum. <br />Only ordinances that are legislative in character may be enacted through the <br />initiative and referendum process. Legislative actions are those that are general in <br />nature and lay down a pernianent and uniform rule of law. Administrative actions, <br />on the other hand, are those of a temporary and special character. They merely <br />carry out existing laws and relate to the daily administration of municipal affairs. <br />Administrative actions include the settlement of lawsuits, entering of contracts, <br />acceptance or rejection of bids, sale of municipal bonds, appointment of city <br />officials, levying of taxes, granting of licenses and permits, and the adoption of <br />budgets. <br />
