Section 2-12 Ordinances: Enacting Clause.
   The enacting clause of all ordinances passed by the council shall be, "Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Duncan", and of all ordinances proposed by the voters under their power of initiative, "Be it ordained by the People of the City of Duncan".
Section 2-13 Ordinances: Passage; When In Effect.
   Every proposed ordinance shall be read, and a vote of a majority of all the councilmen shall be required for the final passage of an ordinance. The vote on final passage of every ordinance shall be by yeas and nays, and shall be entered in the journal. The mayor shall have no power of veto. Within ten days after its passage, every ordinance shall be published in full or by title in a newspaper of general circulation within the city. Every ordinance except an emergency ordinance, shall become effective thirty days after its final passage unless it specifies a later time.
Section 2-14 Ordinances: Emergency.
   An emergency ordinance is an ordinance which in the judgment of the council is necessary for the immediate preservation of peace, health or safety. Every such ordinance shall contain, as part of its title, the words, "and declaring an emergency"; and in a separate section, herein called the emergency section, shall declare the emergency. The council shall vote on the emergency section separately, and must adopt the section by a vote of at least four-fifths of all the members of the council, which vote shall be by yeas and nays and be entered in the journal. An emergency ordinance shall take effect upon publication unless it specifies a later time.
Section 2-15 Ordinances: Adoption By Reference.
   The council by ordinance may adopt by reference codes, ordinances and standards relating to building, plumbing, electrical installations, milk and milk products, and other matters which it has power to regulate otherwise. Such a code, ordinance or standard so adopted need not be enrolled in the book of ordinances; but a copy shall be filed and kept in the office of the city clerk. The city clerk shall keep copies of every such code, ordinances or standard in force for distribution or sale at their approximate cost.
Section 2-16 Ordinances: Codification.
   The ordinances of the city shall be codified and published in book or pamphlet form at least every ten years unless the council, by use of a loose- leaf system and process of amendment, keeps the code up-to-date. Titles, enacting clauses and emergency sections may be omitted from the code; and temporary and special ordinances and parts of ordinances may be omitted from the code. Permanent general ordinances and parts of ordinances which are to be repealed by, the code, shall be omitted from the code. The ordinances and parts of ordinances included in the code may be revised, rearranged and reorganized; and the code may contain new matter, provisions of the state constitution and law relating to the city and provisions of this charter. A copy of the published code shall be filed in the office of the city clerk after adoption by council, but the code need not be enrolled in the book of ordinances.
