(a) Authentication and Recording. The City Clerk shall authenticate by signing and shall record in full in a properly indexed book kept for the purpose all ordinances and resolutions adopted by the City Council.
(b) Codification. One year after Charter is in effect and at least every four years after, the City Council shall provide for the preparation of a general codification of all City ordinances and resolutions having the force and effect of the law. The general codification shall be adopted by the Council by ordinance and shall be published promptly in bound or loose-leaf form, together with the Charter and other laws of the state of West Virginia, and such codes as the Council may specify. This compilation shall be known and cited officially as the Shinnston City Code. Copies of the code shall be furnished to City officers, placed in libraries and public offices for free public reference and made available for purchase by the public at a reasonable price fixed by the Council.
(c) Printing of Ordinances and Resolutions. The City Council shall cause each ordinance and resolution having the force and effect of law and each amendment to this Charter be printed promptly following its adoption, and printed ordinances, resolutions and Charter amendments shall be distributed or sold to the public at reasonable prices as fixed by the Council. Following publication of the first Shinnston City Code and at all times thereafter, the ordinances, resolutions and Charter amendments shall be printed in substantially the same style as the code currently in effect and shall be suitable in form for integration therein. The Council shall make such further arrangements as it deems desirable with respect to reproduction and distribution of any current changes in or addition to the provisions of the constitution and other laws of the state of West Virginia, or the codes of technical regulations and other rules and regulations included in the code.
