(a) The Clerk of Council is hereby granted the authority to make corrections to legislation if a manifest error be discovered consisting of the misspelling of any word or words necessary to express the intention of the provisions affected, the use of a word or words to which no meaning can be attached, or the use of a word or words was clearly intended to express such intent, such word or words supplied, omitted, or substituted as will conform with the manifest intention, and the provision shall have the same effect as the text as originally published. No such alteration shall be made or permitted if any question exists regarding the nature or extent of such error.
(b) The Clerk of Council shall be authorized to make typographical correction to or changes or deletions in, as well as changes in the form of, resolutions or ordinances adopted by Council; however, the changes shall relate to matters of form only. Any such modification, change, or correction shall, in all cases, be approved by motion of Council, prior to going into effect. In no event shall any such modification, change, or correction affect the construction, meaning, substance, or intent of the resolution or ordinance as adopted by Council.
