Every proposed ordinance or summary thereof shall first be read at a council meeting. Thereafter, the ordinance shall be made available to the public for fourteen (14) days at the city clerk’s office. No less than fourteen (14) days following its initial reading, the council shall hold a public hearing regarding the proposed ordinance. At that same public hearing, the council may pass a resolution adopting the ordinance, including any changes.
Every ordinance, unless otherwise provided for in this charter, shall require for its passage and adoption a majority vote of the council- and mayor-elect and shall take effect fourteen (14) days after the publication of the ordinance unless otherwise provided in the ordinance itself, but not before publication.
