In a prosecution under this section, a map produced by the city for the purpose of depicting the location and boundaries of the drug-free zones or a true copy of such a map shall, under proper authentication, be admissible and shall constitute prima facie evidence of the location and boundaries of the drug-free zones if the city has adopted a resolution or ordinance approving the map as the official location and record of the location and boundaries of the drug-free zones. Any map approved under this section or a true copy of the map shall be filed with the clerk of the city and shall be maintained as an official record of the city.
