Each ordinance passed by the Council shall be published at least once, within fifteen days after its adoption by the Council. All ordinances of the City shall become effective immediately upon the publication thereof, unless a date upon which an ordinance shall become effective, which is subsequent to the date of its publication, is specifically provided in the ordinance itself. The publication of any ordinance in full, after its final passage, as a part of the published proceedings of the Council shall constitute publication of such ordinance as required herein. An ordinance which is declared by the Council to be an emergency ordinance may be published by the posting thereof as provided in Section 2.1(8) of this Charter, provided a notice of such publication by posting be published in a newspaper meeting the requirements of such section within ten days after such posting.
