2.020 Ordinance and Resolution Procedure.
Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.010 to 2.075, ordinances and resolutions shall be introduced and passed at regular or special sessions of the Council. Before introduction, all proposed ordinances and resolutions shall be delivered to the Recorder, who shall endorse on them the Council bill number assigned to each. The number shall begin with the year in which the bill was introduced followed by the consecutive number identifying each bill, beginning each year with the number one for the first bill of that year (i.e., 2021-1, 2021-2, etc.). Proposed ordinances and resolutions shall from the time of numbering be referred to in the minutes or records of the Recorder as Council bills. The proposed ordinances and resolutions then shall be introduced in open-council meeting, and the following action may be taken:
(1) A motion that the proposed ordinance or resolution be adopted as read. When seconded, the motion may be disposed of in accordance with section 2.010.
(2) A motion that no action be taken with regard to the proposed ordinance or resolution or that consideration of the ordinance or resolution be postponed until a particular subsequent meeting or until a later time during the same meeting. The motion may contain instructions relative to the preparation or modification or referral to committee of the ordinance or resolution. When seconded, the motion may be amended to specify or change the time of future consideration of the ordinance or resolution. The motion shall not be subject to any other incidental, subsidiary or privileged motion or amendment.
(3) A motion that the proposed ordinance or resolution be adopted with changes as made by the motion. The motion shall not be acted upon until the proposed change has been reduced to writing and attached to the original draft of the ordinance or resolution. When seconded, the motion may then be disposed of in accordance with section 2.010.
(4) Every resolution of the Council shall, before being put on its final passage, be read once in open Council meeting. However, in the case of a resolution of intent to rezone property, if there is more than one dissenting vote on first reading, the resolution shall require a second reading on another day before final passage. All resolutions shall be read, either in full or by title, in the manner prescribed for ordinances in Section 34 of the Charter.
