[Adopted as Title 1, Ch. 1.12, of the 1986 Code]
All bylaws passed by the City Council shall be termed "ordinances,"
and the enacting style shall be: "Be it ordained by the City Council
of the City of Springfield, as follows: . . ."
A.Â
All ordinances which shall be passed by the City Council shall be
endorsed or recorded by the City Clerk, in a fair, legible hand, or
by such other electrical or mechanical printing device as the City
Clerk authorizes, in the order in which they shall pass to be ordained,
in a book to be kept for that purpose.
B.Â
This section shall be deemed to be complied with, however, insofar
as a revision of the ordinances of the City which is published in
book form is concerned, if the City Clerk certifies on a bound copy
of such revision that it is the official record copy of such revised
ordinances and if he files such official record copy with the ordinance
record books in the City Clerk's office.
All the ordinances of the City Council shall be published by
causing the same to be inserted in such newspaper printed and published
in the City as the City Council by order directs.
Every ordinance which does not expressly prescribe the time
when it shall go into operation shall take effect 20 days from and
after its passage.
