Mounds View Charter Commission Resolution 2006-07 Chapter 5 Amendments CHAPTER 3 COUNCIL PROCEDURE Date: 08/20/2006 Page 2 of 8 Section 3.05. Procedure on Ordinances. Every proposed ordinance shall be presented in writing and read in full before adoption, unless the reading is dispensed with by unanimous consent of the Council. No ordinance shall contain more than one subject. Such subject shall be clearly expressed in its title. The enacting clause shall be "The City of Mounds View ordains". No ordinance, except an emergency ordinance shall be adopted at the meeting at which it is introduced and at least fourteen days shall elapse between its introduction and final adoption. Every ordinance must contain a specified effective date as noted in Section 3.09 of this Charter. Section 3.07. Signing, and Publication of Ordinances. Every ordinance adopted by the Council shall be signed by the Mayor, and attested to, filed and preserved by the Clerk -Administrator. Every ordinance shall be published at least once in the official newspaper as som as praetieable no earlier than 7 calendar days nor later than 14 calendar days from the date of passage, either in its complete form preceded by a summary of its contents or as a title and summary! The Ordinance or the Ordinance Title and Summary shall be published in a body type no smaller than brevier or eight -point type. A copy of any new ordinance may be obtained from the City at no cost. The entire text of the ordinance shall be posted on the City's web site, if there is one, in a manner that can be identifiable by subject matter or ordinance number. A copy shall also be available in the community library, if there is one, or if not, in any other public location which the Council designates. In the case of lengthy ordinances, or ordinances that include charts or maps, if the Council determines that publication of the title and a summary of an ordinance would clearly inform the public of the intent and effect of the ordinance, the Council may by a four -fifths vote of its members, direct that only the title of the ordinance and a summary be published, with notice that a printed copy of the ordinance is available for inspection during regular office hours at the office of the Clerk -Administrator. Prior to the publication of the title and summary, the Council shall approve the text of the summary and determine that it clearly informs the public of the intent and effect of the ordinance, and shall further state that the complete text of the ordinance is on file at the office of the Clerk -Administrator. The publishing of the title and summary shall be deemed to fulfill all legal publication requirements as completely as if the entire ordinance had been published. A copy of the publication shall be attached to and filed with the ordinance for reference. To the extent and in the manner prohibited by law an ordinance may incorporate by reference a statute of Minnesota, a state administrative rule or a regulation, a code or ordinance or part thereof without publishing the material referred to in full, so long as the complete reference to the item is included. 1 It is the intent of the Charter Commission that the Council will determine which is less costly.
