SECTION 14. RECORD AND PUBLICATION.
   Every ordinance or resolution upon its final passage shall be recorded in a book kept for that purpose, and shall be authenticated by the signature of the presiding officer and the Clerk of the City Commission. Every ordinance of a general or permanent nature shall be published in succinct summary form once within ten days after its final passage in the manner hereinafter provided. Such publication shall include a notice that the complete text of each ordinance or resolution may be obtained or viewed at the office of the City Clerk, the public library, the City’s website, or any other place designated by the City Commission. There shall be a reasonable charge for copies as set by the City Commission.
   Resolutions and ordinances providing for public improvement, to pay cost of which special assessments are to be made, need not be published; but within ten days after the passage of each, a notice shall be published as follows, the same being in addition to the notice required by law to be served on the property owners.
   As to the resolution declaring the necessity of the proposed improvement, a notice shall be published headed, “Notice of Public Improvement,” stating when the same was adopted by the City Commission, and setting forth the general nature and the extent of such improvement, including any change of street grade that is to be made, what part of the cost thereof is to be assessed against property to be specially benefited thereby, and when water, gas or other connection can be made.
   As to the ordinance determining to proceed with the improvement, a notice shall be published headed, “Notice of Determination to Proceed with Public Improvement,” stating when the City Commission adopted the same, describing the character and extent of the improvement in general terms, and setting forth within what time assessments on property specially benefited may be paid in cash, and for what period and for what interest bonds will be issued for that portion of the assessment not so paid.
   In regard to the ordinance to provide for the issue of bonds a notice shall be published headed, “Notice of Bond Issue for Public Improvement,” stating when the City Commission adopted the same, describing the improvements in general terms, and stating the total amount of bonds issued, in what determination, when maturing, how to be dated and numbered, the rate of interest, when and where payable and the lowest price at which any portion of such bonds not taken by the sinking fund trustee of the City will be offered for sale. Wherever practicable notices of the same character required to be published regarding separate improvements shall be combined into one notice under a single heading.
   No resolution declaring it necessary to proceed with any public improvement shall be adopted until complete plans, specifications, profiles and estimates have been submitted to the City Commission and have been approved by it; and said complete plans, profiles, specifications and estimates, or a copy thereof, shall thereafter be on file in the office of the City Manager subject to inspection by the public.
