SEC. 12.05 ADOPTION OF ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS.
   No Ordinance or Resolution shall be passed without the concurrence of the majority of the full legal Council. Before passage, every ordinance shall be fully and distinctly read on two separate days at an official meeting of Council, unless an emergency is declared as hereinafter provided, or unless by vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the full legal Council a reading thereof in full on two different days is dispensed with. In cases where an emergency is declared to exist or where Council has dispensed with the second reading, the ordinance shall be read in full one time at an official meeting and may be passed on the day of such meeting. For its second reading, such an ordinance may be read by title only upon the vote of a majority of the members of Council, provided there has been no change in the text of the ordinance between the first and second reading. Resolutions may be acted upon immediately after a single reading.
   Every vote upon every ordinance shall be taken by a roll call and entered in the journal. A vote upon other matters on which any member shall so demand shall be taken by roll call. Passage of every ordinance and every resolution shall be certified by the signatures of the Mayor, or Vice Mayor, and the Clerk of Council. The Clerk of Council shall record all ordinances and resolutions, in full, in separate ordinance and resolution volumes, which shall be a public record available for examination, upon request, in the Clerk of Council office by interested persons during regular office hours.
