(A) Every ordinance and resolution shall be presented in writing and shall be read in full before a vote is taken thereon, except when reading in full is dispensed with by unanimous consent. All motions shall be stated in full and recorded in the minutes before they are submitted to a vote. All petitions and communications shall be read in full and then shall be recorded by title in the minutes before being filed with the minutes in the office of the City Administrator/Clerk/Treasurer.
(B) Every ordinance and resolution passed shall be signed by the Mayor, attested by the City Administrator/Clerk/Treasurer, and filed in the ordinance or resolution book. Proof of publication of every ordinance shall be attached to and filed with the ordinance.
(C) Every ordinance or resolution repealing a previous action shall give the number, if any, and the title of the resolution to be repealed. No ordinance or resolution shall be amended or repealed by reference to the title alone. If only a part of an ordinance or resolution is to be amended or repealed, that part shall be referred to in each and every part by title and number. The amending or repealing ordinance shall be sufficiently explained so the general public may interpret the communication in their interest.
