Any action of the council having a regulatory or penal effect, relating to revenue or the expenditure of money, or required to be done by ordinance under this act, shall be done only by ordinance. A resolution shall have a brief title describing its contents and a body containing its detailed provisions, but a motion shall consist only of a brief statement of the action proposed to the council. Each resolution and ordinance shall be in written form before being introduced. The affirmative vote of at least three (3) members of the council shall be required to pass any motion, resolution, or ordinance. Each ordinance, before being adopted, shall be considered and passed at two (2) meetings one (1) week apart, except that an emergency ordinance may be passed at two (2) meetings only one (1) day apart, and shall take effect fourteen (14) days after its adoption, except that an ordinance containing a full statement of the facts and reasons for an emergency may be made effective upon its adoption if approved by at least four (4) members of the council on both readings. No ordinance relating to a franchise, exclusive contract, or other special privilege shall be passed as an emergency ordinance. Amendments of ordinances and resolutions or parts thereof shall be accomplished only by setting forth the complete section, sections, subsection, or subsections in their amended form. A code may be adopted by an ordinance, which contains a reference to its title, date, and, issuing organization, but the city shall furnish a copy of any such code to any person for a reasonable fee. The city clerk shall number ordinances consecutively in the order of their adoption and shall copy them into a permanent record book used solely for this purpose, and the city clerk shall do likewise for resolutions, using a separate series of numbers and a separate record book. The original copies of all ordinances, resolutions, and motions shall be filed and preserved by the city clerk. An abstract of the essential provisions of each ordinance shall be published once in the official city newspaper within ten (10) days after its adoption, except that only the title of a code adopted by reference as provided in this section shall be so published.
