The Clerk shall record, in a book used exclusively for that purpose, all ordinances passed by the Board of Trustees. Immediately following each ordinance, the Clerk shall make a memorandum of the date of the passage and of the publication or posting, where required, of the ordinance. This record and memorandum, or a certified copy thereof, shall be prima facie evidence of the contents, passage and of the publication or posting of ordinances.
