Each ordinance or resolution shall be recorded in a book, or other record prescribed by the Council, established and maintained for that purpose. The City Clerk-Treasurer or a duly authorized deputy to said Clerk, shall, upon the request of any person and upon the payment of a fee, as established by the Council, certify true copies of any ordinance or resolution, which certified copies shall be admissable as evidence in any court.
(a) No ordinance or resolution or any section thereof, shall be revised or amended unless the new ordinance or resolution contains the entire ordinance, resolution or section or subsection as revised or amended, and the ordinance, resolution or section or subsection so amended shall be repealed. This requirement shall not prevent the amendment of an ordinance or resolution by the addition of a new section, sections, subsection or subsections and in case the full text of the former ordinance or resolution need not be set forth; nor shall this section prevent repeals by implication.
(b) Except in the case of codification or recodification of ordinances and resolutions, a separate vote shall be taken on each ordinance or resolution proposed to be amended.
(c) Ordinances and resolutions that have been introduced and have received their first reading, their first and second reading, or their first, second and third reading but have not been voted on as to passage, may be amended or revised upon approval by a majority vote of the members of Council and such amended or revised ordinance or resolution need not receive additional readings because of such amendments or revisions.
(a) The Council shall provide for the preparation of a general codification of all ordinances and resolutions having the force and effect of law every ten years. The general codification shall be adopted by the Council by ordinance and shall be published promptly in bound or loose-leaf form, together with this Charter and any amendments thereto, pertinent provisions of the Constitution and other laws of the State of Ohio, and such codes of technical regulations and other rules and regulations as the Council may specify. This compilation shall be known and cited officially as the Bryan City Code. Copies of the code shall be furnished to city officers, placed in libraries and public offices for free public reference and made available for purchase by the public at a reasonable price fixed by the Council.
(b) The Council shall cause each ordinance and resolution to be printed following its adoption, and the printed ordinances, resolutions and Charter amendments shall be distributed or sold to the public at reasonable prices to be fixed by the Council. Following publication of the first Bryan City Code and at all times thereafter, the ordinances, resolutions and Charter amendments shall be printed in substantially the same style as the code currently in effect and shall be suitable in form for integration therein. The Council shall make such further arrangements as it deems desirable with respect to reproduction and distribution of any current changes in or additions to the provisions of the Constitution and other laws of the State of Ohio, or the codes of technical regulations and other rules and regulations included in the code.
Council may, by ordinance, adopt standard ordinances and codes prepared by the State, or any department, board or other agency or political subdivision of the State, or any standard or model ordinance or code prepared and promulgated by a public or private organization, including but not limited to codes and regulations pertaining to fire, fire hazards, fire prevention, plumbing code, electrical code, building code, refrigeration machinery code, housing code, and such other matters as the Council may determine to be appropriate for adoption by reference, by incorporation by reference. The ordinance adopting any such standard ordinance or code shall make reference to the date and source of such standard ordinance or code without reproducing the same at length in the ordinance. In such cases, publication of the standard ordinance or code shall not be required, but one copy of such code shall be kept at all times in the office of the City Clerk-Treasurer and available for reference by interested persons. If the standard ordinance or code, after its adoption by reference by the Council, is amended, the Council may adopt the amendment or change by incorporation by reference in an ordinance under the same procedure as is established herein for the adoption of the original standard ordinance or code without the necessity of setting forth in full in the ordinance the provisions either of the amendment or change to the original ordinance or the standard ordinance or code.
