(A) Ordinances and resolutions shall be published by posting copies thereof in not less than three public places in the municipal corporation, and on the municipal website, for a period of not less than fifteen days after their adoption. The public places for such posting shall be determined by the Council. The Council may, by ordinance or resolution, require that ordinances and resolutions be published by other means either in lieu of or in addition to the posting as required by this Division.
(B) The Clerk of Council shall make and retain a certificate as to the times and places where such postings are done and other means, if any, by which an ordinance or resolution is published; and that certificate shall be prima-facie evidence that the copies were posted and otherwise published as required by Division (A) of this Section. Failure to make or retain the certificate required by this Division shall not invalidate any ordinance or resolution.
(C) Failure to publish by posting or to maintain such posting, or to otherwise publish, as required by Division (A) of this Section shall not invalidate an ordinance or resolution, and in such events, the Clerk of Council may authorize publication by posting, and publication by other means if any such other means have been required pursuant to Division (A) of this Section, at a later date.
