Within two years after the adoption of this charter the Commission shall direct and complete the codification of all ordinances of the city, in printed loose-leaf form, and shall cause such codification to be maintained thereafter in current form. Any such codification may originally include provisions not previously contained in ordinances of the city.
The Commission shall provide for making copies of the codification available for public inspection and for distribution to the public at a reasonable charge therefor and shall publish notice of the printing and availability of such codification before the effective date thereof. Such printing and making available of the codification and notice thereof shall constitute publication of any such codification, other provisions of this charter for publication notwithstanding.
The copies of the ordinances and of the codification thereof, and of provisions adopted by reference in accordance with Section 7.7 may be certified by the Clerk and, when so certified, shall be competent evidence in all courts and other legally established tribunals as to the matter contained therein.
