Section 6. AUTHENTICATION; PUBLICATION; EFFECTIVE DATE; CODIFICATION.
   (a)   An ordinance shall be recorded and preserved by the City Clerk, authenticated by the signature of the presiding officer of the governing body and City Clerk, and bear the seal of the city. The ordinance shall be published one time either in its entirety or by title and general summary of the subject matter contained in the ordinance, whichever the Council elects to do.
   (b)   An ordinance shall not become effective until five days after it has been published, unless passed and approved as an emergency measure, in which event it shall become effective immediately following publication or at a subsequent date determined by Council.
   (c)   If the ordinances of the city are codified, it is not necessary to publish same in entirety. An ordinance, referring to the codification by title only and specifying one place in the city's municipal offices where the codification may be inspected during normal and regular business hours, may be published instead of the codification.
