In the absence of both the Clerk and Deputy Clerk, the presiding officer shall appoint a secretary pro tem.

The minutes of each meeting shall be reduced to typewritten form, shall be signed by the Clerk or Deputy Clerk, and copies shall be delivered to each Council member as soon as practicable after the meeting. At the next regular meeting following the delivery, approval of the minutes need not be read aloud, but the presiding officer shall call for any additions or corrections. If there is no objection to a proposed addition or correction, it may be made without a vote of the Council. If there is an objection, the Council shall vote upon the addition or corrections. If there are no additions or corrections, the minutes shall stand approved.
(C) Publication. The Clerk shall publish the official minutes on the city web site within ten days of their approval. The Clerk shall mail a copy of the minutes to any resident upon request.
