The general codification shall be adopted by the Council by ordinance and shall be printed promptly in bound or loose-leaf form together with this Charter and any amendment thereto, pertinent provisions of the Constitution and other laws of the State of Ohio, and such codes of technical regulations and other rules and regulations as the Council may specify. This compilation shall be known and cited officially as the Germantown Municipal Code.

The Council shall make such further arrangements as it deems desirable with respect to reproduction and distribution of any current changes in or additions to the provisions of the Constitution and other laws of the State of Ohio, or the codes of technical regulations and other rules and regulations included in the Code.
