Every proposed ordinance shall be presented in 6 writing and read in full before adoption, unless the reading is dispensed with by unanimous consent of 7 the Council. No ordinance shall contain more than one subject. Such subject shall be clearly expressed 8 in its title. The enacting clause shall be "The City of Mounds View ordains". No ordinance, except an 9 emergency ordinance shall be adopted at the meeting at which it is introduced and at least fourteen(14) 10 days shall elapse between its introduction and final adoption. Every ordinance must contain a 11 specified effective date as noted in Section 3.09 of this Charter. 12 13 Section 3.07. Sianiniz, and Publication of Ordinances. Every ordinance adopted by the Council 14 shall be signed by the Mayor, and attested to, filed and preserved by the Clerk-Administrator. Every 15 ordinance shall be published at least once in the official newspaper no earlier than seven (7) calendar 16 days nor later than fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of passage, either in its complete form 17 preceded by a summary of its contents or as a title and summary.' 18 19 The Ordinance or the Ordinance Title and Summary shall be published in a body type no 20 smaller than brevier or eight(8)point type. A copy of any new ordinance may be obtained from 21 the City at no cost. The entire text of the ordinance shall be posted on the City's web site, if 22 there is one, in a manner that can be identifiable by subject matter or ordinance number. A copy 23 shall also be available in the community library, if there is one, or if not, in any other public 24 location which the Council designates. 25 26 In the case of lengthy ordinances, or ordinances that include charts or maps, if the 27 Council determines that publication of the title and a summary of an ordinance would clearly 28 inform the public of the intent and effect of the ordinance, the Council may by a four-fifths 29 (4/5th)vote of its members, direct that only the title of the ordinance and a summary be 30 published, with notice that a printed copy of the ordinance is available for inspection during 31 regular office hours at the office of the Clerk-Administrator. Prior to the publication of the title 32 and summary, the Council shall approve the text of the summary and determine that it clearly 33 informs the public of the intent and effect of the ordinance, and shall further state that the 34 complete text of the ordinance is on file at the office of the Clerk-Administrator. The 35 publishing of the title and summary shall be deemed to fulfill all legal publication requirements 36 as completely as if the entire ordinance had been published. A copy of the publication shall be 37 attached to and filed with the ordinance for reference. To the extent and in the manner provided 38 by law an ordinance may incorporate by reference a statute of Minnesota, a state administrative 39 rule or a regulation, a code or ordinance or part thereof without publishing the material referred 40 to in full, so long as the complete reference to the item is included. (Amended,Ord. 700,8-26-2002) 41 42 Section 3.09. When Ordinances and Resolutions Take Effect. Every resolution and emergency 43 ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its adoption or at such later date as it specifies. Every 44 other ordinance shall take effect thirty (30) days after its publication or at such later date as it specifies 1 It is the intent of the Charter Commission that the Council will determine which is less costly.
