3. After the approval, the rules and regulations shall be published in one of the following ways:
a. By publication in full one time in the official publication, or

4. All rules and regulations shall become effective upon the publication and filing.
5. Any rules or regulations so adopted may be repealed by the Administrator with the approval of the Mayor and the City Attorney, by publication through one of the two (2) methods provided, and by filing of the repealer with the City Clerk.
B. Whenever communicable diseases or the sanitary condition of the City shall be of such character as to warrant emergency rules and regulations, it shall be the duty of the Administrator or Medical Director to make rules and regulations deemed necessary to protect the public safety and health. Rules and regulations which are declared to be emergency rules and regulations, though not herein or otherwise authorized, shall be adopted formally by the procedure set forth in this section as soon as may be practical after promulgation of the same.
