A true and correct copy or the original of all ordinances shall be kept and certified to by the city clerk in a book marked “city ordinances.” Such record copy, with such certificate, or the original ordinance shall be prima facie evidence of the contents of the ordinance and of the due passage and publication or posting of the same, and shall be admissible as such in any court or proceeding. Such records shall not be filed in any case, but shall be returned to the custody of the city clerk. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent the proof of the passage and publication or posting of an ordinance in the usual way.
Editor's note: This section was amended by the voters of the city on March 26, 1996.
