SECTION 2.15 PUBLIC NOTICE BEFORE ADOPTION.
   No ordinance or resolution authorizing the surrender or joint exercise of any of its powers; or in the granting of any franchise; or in establishing new positions in the classified or unclassified service of the City; or regulating the rate charged by any public utility; or in the adoption, amendment or repeal of any ordinance relating to the use and occupancy of land or structures thereon; or in the authorization of any change in the boundaries of the municipality, shall be adopted unless public notice is given in a manner approved by Council at least seven (7) days before adoption by Council. Such public notice shall be given by publishing the title, a summary, or the full text of the ordinance or resolution, as may be authorized by Council, and shall contain a statement that a copy of said ordinance or resolution is available for public inspection in the office of the Clerk of Council. As used in this Charter, the terms "published" and "publication" shall mean to post the legislation or a summary thereof in at least three public places as are designated by ordinance of Council, and to take such other actions as may be provided by Council. One of the three public places for publication shall be on the City's website.
