Public notice, as required by law, or by this Charter or by resolution or ordinance shall be given resolutions and ordinances in the manner determined by Council, except that if public posting be selected as the medium, then the bulletin board in the Municipal Center shall be the only place established and required for such public posting. In addition to such public posting, a summary by title only shall be published in a manner determined by Council.
Council shall cause each resolution and ordinance to be given public notice commencing not later than seven (7) days after its adoption and approval by the Mayor, or upon the expiration of the time within which it may be vetoed by the Mayor, without having been vetoed, or upon its passage after veto by the Mayor, as the case may be. Notice of first readings of resolutions and ordinances is to be made available to the public in the records at the Municipal Center.
The Council may determine, by ordinance or resolution, all procedures to be followed by the Council and the Planning and Zoning Commission with respect to zoning within the Municipality and other land use regulations and matters, including but not limited to: public hearings; notices to owners of land; and notices to the general public. Otherwise, general law will apply.
The affirmative vote of at least five (5) members of Council shall be necessary to pass any zoning ordinance or resolution which differs from the written recommendations of the Planning and Zoning Commission, but in no event shall an ordinance or resolution be considered as having passed unless said amendment receives the affirmative vote of at least four (4) members of Council.
