Ordinances, resolutions or orders for the appropriation of money shall require for their passage the concurrence of the majority of the members elected to the governing body. Ordinances of a general or permanent nature shall be read by the title on three different days. This requirement may be suspended by three-fourths vote of the Council; in such case, said ordinance may be read by title or number and then moved for final passage. Three-fourths of the Council may require any ordinance to be read in full before final passage under either process.
