(A) An ordinance or resolution may be amended at any time before its adoption. Amendments may be made in three ways: First by action in writing made by any member of the Council and duly carrying by majority vote of the members-elect; Second by referring the ordinance to the proper committee of the Council for amendments; Third by oral motion passed by majority and recorded by the Clerk and the documents re-read by the Clerk, as amended.
(B) If amendments are made in the manner first referred to, the written motion, together with the memoranda thereon showing the action of the Council and signed by the Clerk, shall be preserved with the original and the ordinance as amended shall be redrafted and presented at the next meeting of the Council.
(C) If amendments are made in the manner last referred to, the ordinance shall be redrafted as amended at that meeting of the Council prior to final consideration and passage. If amendments are so made at the same meeting at which the ordinance is finally adopted, the ordinance shall be redrafted as amended before being presented to the Mayor for his approval or veto.
