117.01 FORM AND METHOD OF ENACTMENT OF LEGISLATION.

   All ordinances and resolutions introduced by Council shall be in written form. No ordinance or resolution shall contain more than one subject, which shall be clearly expressed in its title. Such approval shall be endorsed on proposed legislation or expressed in a separate written communication addressed to Council. No ordinance or resolution of a general or permanent nature, or granting a franchise, creating a right, involving the expenditure of money or levying of a tax other than a resolution providing for an election on the question of issuing bonds or levying a tax, or for the purchase, lease, sale or transfer of property, shall be passed unless it has been read in full (or by title) on three different days, unless the requirement for such three readings is dispensed with by the affirmative vote of five of the members of Council. Council may, by a majority vote, move that any ordinance or resolution be read in its entirety; otherwise, such ordinance or resolution shall be read by title only.
