Council may adopt by ordinance model or standard codes and any supplements or amendments thereto prepared and published by any public or private agency on such matters as fire prevention, building construction, housing, electrical wiring, plumbing, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, piping, boiler and other similar topics by reference to the date and source of the code without reproducing it at length in the ordinance. However, if Council desires to modify, add to or eliminate from any such code or amendment any section or part thereof, such addition, modification or omission shall be clearly stated in the adopting ordinance. In all such cases in which such a code or amendment is adopted by reference, publication of the code or amendment at length, in the adopting ordinance by the Municipality, shall not be required. However, copies of all such codes including all amendments thereto shall be kept in the office of the Clerk of Council for reference and inspection by the public during regular office hours and additional copies shall be available for sale at a reasonable price.
