Mounds View Charter Commission Charter Updates: Chapter 5 Resolution 2007-01a Revision — DRAFT 20070105 Date: 1/5/2007 Page 1 of 6 1 Section 3.05. Procedure on Ordinances. Every proposed ordinance shall be presented in 2 writing and read in full before adoption, unless the reading is dispensed with by unanimous consent of 3 the Council. No ordinance shall contain more than one subject. Such subject shall be clearly expressed 4 in its title. The enacting clause shall be "The City of Mounds View ordains". No ordinance, except an 5 emergency ordinance shall be adopted at the meeting at which it is introduced and at least fourteen days 6 shall elapse between its introduction and final adoption. Every ordinance must contain a specified 7 effective date as noted in Section 3.09 of this Charter. 8 9 10 Section 3.07. Signing, and Publication of Ordinances. Every ordinance adopted by the Council 11 shall be signed by the Mayor, and attested to, filed and preserved by the Clerk -Administrator. Every 12 ordinance shall be published at least once in the official newspaper as soon as practicable no earlier 13 than 7 calendar days nor later than 14 calendar days from the date of passage, either in its complete 14 form preceded by a summary of its contents or as a title and summary.' 15 16 The Ordinance or the Ordinance Title and Summary shall be published in a body type no 17 smaller than brevier or eight -point type. A copy of any new ordinance may be obtained from the 18 City at no cost. The entire text of the ordinance shall be posted on the City's web site, if there is 19 one, in a manner that can be identifiable by subject matter or ordinance number. A copy shall also 20 be available in the community library, if there is one, or if not, in any other public location which 21 the Council designates. 22 23 In the case of lengthy ordinances, or ordinances that include charts or maps, if the Council 24 determines that publication of the title and a summary of an ordinance would clearly inform the 25 public of the intent and effect of the ordinance, the Council may by a four -fifths vote of its 26 members, direct that only the title of the ordinance and a summary be published, with notice that a 27 printed copy of the ordinance is available for inspection during regular office hours at the office of 28 the Clerk -Administrator. Prior to the publication of the title and summary, the Council shall 29 approve the text of the summary and determine that it clearly informs the public of the intent and 30 effect of the ordinance, and shall further state that the complete text of the ordinance is on file at the 31 office of the Clerk -Administrator. The publishing of the title and summary shall be deemed to 32 fulfill all legal publication requirements as completely as if the entire ordinance had been published. 33 A copy of the publication shall be attached to and filed with the ordinance for reference. To the 34 extent and in the manner prohibited by law an ordinance may incorporate by reference a statute of 35 Minnesota, a state administrative rule or a regulation, a code or ordinance or part thereof without 36 publishing the material referred to in full, so long as the complete reference to the item is included. 37 38 Section 3.09. When Ordinances and Resolutions Take Effect. Every resolution and emergency 39 ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its adoption or at such later date as it specifies. Every 40 other ordinance shall take effect thirty days after its publication or at such later date as it specifies 41 unless challenged by a petition for referendum. In the event of a petition for referendum, the 42 Council must suspend the effective date of the ordinance as specified in Section 5.07 of this 43 Charter. 44 1 It is the intent of the Charter Commission that the Council will determine which is less costly.
