In going through the ordinances I noticed that the last legislature
changed some things on ordinances. So I am going to recommend to the Council
that they amend our ordinances to require that all ordinances be submitted
in writing to the Council, that no ordinance passed shall contain more than
one subject~ and an ordinance must be read and adopted by the majority of
the members present at two meetings not less than 12 days apart. After the
first adoption and reading, it must be posted and copies made available to
the public.
