Action of Council shall be by ordinance, resolution, or motion. Every action of a general or permanent nature, including but not limited to granting a franchise; or levying a tax; or appropriating money; or contracting an indebtedness, to be evidenced by the issuance of bonds or notes; or for the purchase, lease, sale, or transfer of real property; or establishing an offense and fixing the penalty therefor shall be taken by ordinance, in the manner hereinafter provided. All other action may be by resolution or motion.
Each ordinance or resolution shall contain only one subject which shall be expressed in its title, provided however, that appropriation ordinances may contain the various subjects, accounts, and amounts for which moneys are appropriated, and that ordinances and resolutions which are codified or recodified are not subject to the limitations of containing one subject.
