(a) Every ordinance shall be introduced in writing and the title shall be orally read before any vote for passage thereof is taken. After passage on first reading, the ordinance shall be published by posting a copy thereof on the Council bulletin board, together with a notice of the time and place when and where it will be given a public hearing and be considered for final passage. The first such publication shall be at least five (5) days prior to the time advertised for public hearing.

(b) At the time and place so advertised by posting, or at any time and place to which such hearing shall from time to time be adjourned, all persons interested who appear shall be given an opportunity to be heard. Before the hearing begins, the ordinance shall be read a second time by title or in full.

(c) After such hearing, the Council may finally pass such ordinance with or without amendments. The vote on final passage shall be by roll call, and the vote shall be entered in the journal.

(d) No ordinance, except an emergency ordinance or an ordinance making, repealing, transferring, or otherwise changing appropriations, may be finally passed on the same day that it is introduced. By unanimous consent of all Council Members present, such ordinances may be read a second time and then, by the required vote, be passed, on the same day on which they are introduced. All persons present shall be given an opportunity to be heard before the vote on final passage.

(e) After final passage, every ordinance shall be published by posting the title on the Council bulletin board.

(f) Emergency ordinances and ordinance making, repealing, transferring, or otherwise changing appropriations shall go into effect immediately upon passage unless they specify a later time.

(g) Within a reasonable time after final passage of an ordinance, the City Clerk shall cause it to be recorded and indexed with the other ordinances of the City.
