(a) 
Except as the second and third subsections of this section provide 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.
(b) 
Except as the third subsection of 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 by title.
(c) 
Any of the readings may be by title only if no council member present at the meeting requests to have the ordinance read in full or 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 manager or manager's designee not later than one week before the first reading of the ordinance and if notice of their availability is given forthwith upon the filing by written notice posted at the city hall and two other public places in the city or by advertisement in a newspaper of general circulation in the city. An ordinance enacted after being read by title alone may have no legal effect if it differs substantially from its terms as it was thus filed prior to such reading, unless each section incorporating such a difference is read fully and distinctly in open council meeting as finally amended prior to being approved by the council.
(d) 
Upon the final vote on an ordinance, the council shall be polled and the members' votes shall be taken and entered in the record of proceedings.
(e) 
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 the mayor shall sign it with the date of his or her signature, his or her name and the title of the office.
Each ordinance passed by the council shall take effect 30 days after its passage. When, however, the council deems it expedient, an ordinance may provide a different time when it shall take effect. In case of an emergency, an ordinance may take effect immediately. All ordinances, immediately after being passed, shall be posted for 10 days in conspicuous places in the city hall and the city library.
