SECTION 17. CODES OF TECHNICAL REGULATIONS.
   The City Council may adopt any standard code of technical regulations by reference thereto in an adopting ordinance. The procedure and requirements governing such an adopting ordinance shall be as prescribed for ordinances generally except that:
      (1)   Before any such ordinance shall be adopted, the code must be printed or typewritten and shall be presented in pamphlet form to the City Council at a regular meeting, and copies of such code shall be made available for public inspection.
      (2)   The ordinance adopting such code shall not set out said code in full, but shall merely identify the same. After adoption of the ordinance, such code or codes shall be certified by the mayor and filed as permanent record in the office of the Clerk, who shall not be required to transcribe and record the same in the ordinance book as other ordinances are transcribed and recorded.
   Copies of any adopted code of technical regulations shall be made available by the City Clerk for distribution or for purchase at a reasonable price.
