§ 3.08. Summary publication of ordinances.

In the case of lengthy ordinances, or ordinances that include charts or maps, if the council determines that publication of the title and a summary of an ordinance would clearly inform the public of the intent and effect of the ordinance, the council may by a five-sevenths vote of its members, direct that only the title of the ordinance and a summary be published, with notice that a printed copy of the ordinance is available for inspection during regular office hours at the office of the city administrator. Prior to the publication of the title and summary, the council shall approve the text of the summary and determine that it clearly informs the public of the intent and effect of the ordinance, and shall further state that the complete text of the ordinance is on file at the office of the city administrator. The publishing of the title and summary shall be deemed to fulfill all legal publication requirements as completely as if the entire ordinance had been published. A copy of the publication shall be attached to and filed with the ordinance for reference.
