The enacting clause of all ordinances hereafter enacted by the council shall be, “The City of Carlton ordains as follows:”

(1) Except as this section provides to the contrary, every ordinance of the council shall, before being put upon its final passage, be read fully and distinctly in open council meeting on two different days.

(2) Except as this section provides to the contrary, an ordinance may be enacted at a single meeting of the council by unanimous vote of all council members present, upon being read first in full and then once by title only.

(3) Any of the readings may be by title only (a) if no council member present at the meeting requests to have the ordinance read in full or (b) if a copy of the ordinance is provided for each council member and three copies are provided for public inspection in the office of the city recorder or City Web Site not later than one week before the first reading of the ordinance and notice of their availability is given forthwith upon the filing, by (i) written notice posted at the city hall and one other public place in the city or (ii) advertisement in a newspaper of general circulation in the city. An ordinance enacted after being read by title only shall have no legal effect if it differs substantially from its terms as it was thus filed prior to such reading, unless each section incorporating a difference is read fully and distinctly in open council meeting as finally amended prior to being approved by the council.

(4) The ayes, nays abstentions and absences of the members on all of the readings shall be taken and recorded in the minutes of the Council’s proceedings.

(5) Upon the enactment of an ordinance the recorder shall sign it with the date of its passage and his or her name and title of office, and thereafter the mayor shall sign it with the date of his or her signature, his or her name and the title of office.

An ordinance enacted by the council shall take effect on the thirtieth day after its enactment. When the council deems it advisable, however, an ordinance may provide a later time for it to take effect and, in case of an emergency, it may take effect immediately, or at any time therein specified.
