Clerk
of Council. The Township Clerk shall serve as Clerk of the Council.
He/She shall keep a journal of the proceedings of the Council and
shall engross all ordinances and all resolutions of a permanent character
in the books to be provided for that purpose. After each ordinance
he/she shall also engross and certify the proof of publication thereof,
as required by law. Each ordinance and resolution so engrossed shall
be signed by the presiding officer of the Council and the Clerk, who
shall attest that it was duly adopted upon a date stated, pursuant
to law. When so signed, the engrossed copy shall be deemed to be a
public record of the ordinance or resolution. Any omission by the
Township Clerk or presiding officer of the Council to engross, sign
or certify as herein required shall not impair or affect the validity
of any ordinance which has been duly adopted. The Township Clerk shall
periodically bind, compile or codify all the ordinances and resolutions,
or true copies thereof, which then remain in force and effect. He/She
shall also properly index the record books, compilation or codification
of ordinances or resolutions.
