An ordinance may be introduced as a bill at any regular or special meeting by any member of council. Upon introduction, the title of the proposed ordinance shall be read aloud, and council may set a day and hour for the holding of a public hearing thereon. A bill, before its final passage, shall be presented at one additional meeting of the council, which meeting shall be held no earlier than the seventh day after publication of the bill for an ordinance in its final amended form. After final passage, every ordinance shall again be published by reference or in full as council may determine.

Any publication by reference shall contain a summary of the subject matter of the ordinance and a notice that copies of the ordinance are available at the office of the city clerk. (Ord. No. 79-118, § 1, 11-6-1979; Ord. No. 87-202, § 24, 11-3-1987)
