(A) In most cases, a resolution is little more than a formal motion set forth in a formal document. In some matters, such as an assessment proceeding, general plan amendment or the granting or denial of variance, a resolution is required. A resolution should be required under any circumstances where it is desirable that the action be formally recorded in the office of the City Clerk as a numbered document which can be used for future reference. Legislative actions as set forth in § 30.77 should be by ordinance or resolution.
(B) Resolutions appropriating or ordering the payment of money shall be adopted only upon the affirmative vote of at least three members of the Council.
(C) Resolutions fixing the rate of taxes to be levied or the amount of revenue required to be raised by taxation shall be published in the same manner and within the same time as ordinances are required to be published.
