"IT IS HEREBY ENACTED BY THE CITY OF LAKE MARY AS FOLLOWS:"
2. Procedure. An ordinance may be introduced by any member at any regular or special meeting of the Commission. Upon introduction of any ordinance, it shall be read by title only. All ordinances shall be read twice. The second reading of any ordinance shall be by title only and shall follow the first reading by a minimum of ten days; provided, however, this requirement may be waived by a unanimous vote of all five members of the Commission.

3. Emergency Ordinances may be adopted by the City Commission in accordance with state law.
Every emergency ordinance, except one made pursuant to Section 13.05 #2 shall automatically stand repealed as of the sixty-first day following the date on which it was adopted, but this shall not prevent re-enactment of the ordinance in the manner specified in this section if the emergency still exists. An emergency ordinance may also be repealed by adoption of a repealing ordinance in the same manner specified for adoption of emergency ordinances.
