All ordinances shall be recorded in an indexed book marked “Ordinance Book,” and the record of each ordinance shall be authenticated by the signature of the Mayor and Clerk. Such record and authentication shall be done promptly after the final passage of the ordinance, but failure to so record and authenticate any ordinance shall not invalidate it or suspend its operation.
It shall be the duty of the Clerk to cause every ordinance to be published either on the City’s official web page or by posting the same in three public places within the City. And it shall be the duty of the Council to designate which method of publication shall be used. The publication of an ordinance in the Council proceedings shall be deemed a sufficient publication. The Clerk shall immediately, after such publication, enter in the “Ordinance Book,” under the record of the ordinance, a certificate under his hand stating the time and method of such publication. Such certificate shall be prima-facie evidence of the due publication of the ordinance.
