The style of all ordinances shall be, "The City of Davison ordains." No ordinances shall be revised, altered, or amended by reference to its title only, but the section or sections of the ordinance revised, altered, or amended shall be re-enacted and published in full. An ordinance may be repealed by reference to its number and title only. The effective date of any ordinance shall be stated in the ordinance and shall be at least ten (10) days after its adoption and publication unless the Council shall fix an earlier date upon attaching a declaration of emergency affecting the public peace, health, or safety. However, no measure making or amending a grant, renewal, or extension of a franchise or other special privilege shall ever be passed as an emergency measure, and no ordinance imposing a penalty shall take effect until at least ten (10) days after publication.
The Council may adopt any detailed technical regulations (e.g., building code, electric wiring code, etc.) as a City ordinance by a reference to any recognized official or unofficial standard code.
