All legislation of the City carrying a penalty for its violation
or appropriating money shall be by council ordinance. Each ordinance
shall relate to a single subject, which shall be expressed in its
title, and upon passage shall be further identified by a number. The
enacting clause of all ordinances shall be "The City of Roseville
ordains;". Other acts, statements, or decisions of the council reflecting
the opinion or will of the council may be adopted by motion or resolution.
(Amended by General Municipal Election on November 2, 2010)
Ordinances may be enacted, amended or repealed by the affirmative
vote of not less than three (3) councilmembers, except that when an
ordinance is given immediate effect, Section 5.03 of this charter
shall govern. Unless by the affirmative vote of not less than three
(3) councilmembers, no office shall be created or abolished, no tax
or assessment be imposed, no street, alley or public ground be vacated,
no real estate or any interest therein be sold or disposed of, nor
any vote of the council be reconsidered or rescinded nor any money
appropriated except as otherwise provided by this charter. Except
in the case of ordinances which are declared to be urgency ordinances,
no ordinance shall be finally passed by the council until two (2)
weeks after the meeting at which the ordinance is introduced. Introduction
of an ordinance shall require the affirmative vote of not less than
three (3) councilmembers. At least the title and a summary of the
ordinance as introduced shall be published in a newspaper of general
circulation in the City at least one week before the final passage,
either separately or as part of any published proceedings of the council.
No ordinance shall be amended by reference to its number and title
only, but the section or sections of the ordinance amended shall be
reenacted and shall be either published or posted as provided in Section
5.04 of this charter. An ordinance may be repealed in total by reference
to its number and title only and publication of the action may be
similarly limited.

The effective date of all ordinances shall be prescribed herein,
but the effective date shall not be earlier than thirty (30) days
after their enactment nor before publication thereof, except that
ordinances relating to an election, relating to street improvement
proceedings, relating to taxes or appropriations for the usual and
current expenses of the City, or ordinances immediately necessary

(3) councilmembers if three (3) or four (4) councilmembers are present
at the meeting, and by the affirmative vote of not less than four
(4) councilmembers if five (5) councilmembers are present at the meeting.
In case an ordinance is given effect earlier than thirty (30) days
after its enactment, all requirements for publication may be met by
posting copies thereof in conspicuous locations in three (3) public
places in the City, and the City clerk shall, immediately after such
posting, enter in the ordinance book under the record of the ordinance
a certificate stating the time and place of such publication by posting,
which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the due publication
and posting of the ordinance.
(Res. No. 240; Amended by General Municipal Election on November 2, 2010)
Each ordinance passed by the council shall either be published in full at least once within fourteen (14) days after it is adopted in a newspaper of general circulation in the City, either separately or as part of any published proceedings of the council, or shall within fourteen (14) days after its adoption be posted in full in at least three (3) public places in the City; provided, however, that this section shall not apply to urgency ordinances provided for in Section
5.03 and technical codes provided for in Section 5.05 of this charter. All ordinances and their amendments shall be recorded by the City clerk in a book to be called "The Ordinance Book," and it shall be the duty of the mayor and City clerk to authenticate such records by their official signatures.
(Amended April 13, 1982; amended April 10, 1984; Amended by General Municipal Election on November 2, 2010)
The council may adopt in whole or in part any provision of state
law or any detailed technical regulations as a City ordinance or code
by citation of such provision of state law or by reference to any
recognized standard code and it shall be clearly identified in the
ordinance adopting the same as an ordinance of the City. Where any
recognized official or unofficial standard code is so adopted in whole
or in part, it may be published by filing one (1) copy of the law
or code in the office of the City clerk, and the publication of revised
or altered sections shall be in the manner prescribed in this charter
for the adoption of other ordinances. Any subsequent amendment to
or revision of such adopted law or code or detailed technical ordinance
may be adopted and published in the same manner.
(Amended April 13, 1982; Amended by General Municipal Election on November

(Amended by General Municipal Election on November 7, 2000; Amended by General Municipal

The council shall, within one (1) year after the adoption of
this charter, cause any or all properly enacted and unrepealed ordinances
of the City to be compiled, consolidated, revised, indexed and arranged,
including such restatements and substantive changes as are necessary
for clarity, in a comprehensive ordinance code. Such code may be adopted
by reference by passage of an ordinance in the same manner as other
ordinances of the City. Such code need not be published in the manner
required for other ordinances, but not less than one (1) copy thereof
shall be filed for use and examination by the public in the office
of the City clerk prior to the adoption thereof. Subsequent amendments
to the code shall be enacted in the same manner as herein required
for the amendment of ordinances generally.
(Amended April 13, 1982; Amended by General Municipal Election on November

(Res. No. 240)
(Amended by General Municipal Election on November 7, 2000; Amended by General Municipal
Election on November 2, 2010)
Ordinances passed by the council are declared to be severable.
If any portion of an ordinance or the application thereof to any person
or circumstances shall be found to be invalid by a court, such invalidity
shall not affect the remaining portions or applications of the ordinances
which can be given effect without the invalid portion or application,
provided that such remaining portions are not determined by the court
to be inoperable.
