Resolutions and ordinances shall be read before passage in the manner and for the number of times required by general law, except that ordinances and resolutions shall be deemed to have been read if a written or printed copy of the ordinance or resolution shall have been furnished to each member of Council prior to the meeting at which it is introduced and if the title thereof is fully read. However, such ordinance or resolution shall be read in full at the request of a majority of the members present. Council may suspend the rules requiring more than a single reading by the affirmative vote of three-fourths of all of its members.
