The City Clerk shall cause all ordinances, except appropriation
ordinances, as soon as practicable after they have been passed and
signed, passed over the Mayor's veto or will take effect without signature,
to be published once in the official City newspaper, unless a Statute
requires more publications. Ordinances shall take effect the day of
publication unless a different and later day is stated in the ordinance
or otherwise specified by Statute: Provided, that
appropriation ordinances shall take effect upon passage. The publisher
shall print in a line preceding the number of the ordinance a statement
in parentheses as follows: (Published ____, 20__), giving the month,
day and year. The manner of publication and effective date of codifications
shall be as hereinafter provided.
[Code 1983; CC 2000 §1-108]
Following final passage and approval of each ordinance, the
City Clerk shall enter the same in the ordinance book of the City
as provided by law. Each ordinance shall have appended thereto the
manner in which the ordinance was passed, the date of passage, the
name of the newspaper in which published and the date of publication.
