113.05 LEGISLATION.

   (a)   All action of Council, except as otherwise provided in this chapter or by Charter, shall be taken by ordinance or resolution duly adopted at a regular or special meeting, each of which ordinances or resolutions shall require for its adoption the concurrence of at least four (4) Councilmen, taken by "aye" and "nay" vote and entered upon the journal.

   (b)   Each ordinance or resolution of a general or permanent nature shall be introduced in written or printed form, shall contain not more than one (1) subject or one (1) group of related subjects, except as otherwise provided by Charter, and shall, before its passage, be read in full on three (3) separate days unless the requirement for such reading is dispensed with by the concurrence of at least five (5) Councilmen. Provided, however, that any emergency measure or any measure of a series necessary to provide for making or paying for a public improvement except the first of such series, may be passed after one (1) reading.

   (c)   Measures not of a general or permanent nature may be adopted, except as otherwise provided in this chapter or by Charter, on the motion of any Councilman, by the affirmative vote of at least four (4) Councilmen, and each such measure shall be deemed a resolution unless expressly designated as an ordinance. Each such measure shall be entered in full upon the journal, and the subsequent approval by Council of the minutes containing such entry shall be conclusive proof of the correctness of such entry.

   (d)   No ordinance or resolution or section thereof shall be amended unless the amending measure sets forth in full the ordinance, resolution or section as amended, and repeals the ordinance, resolution or section as in effect before such amendment.
