Sec. 2-71. - Same—Annexation ordinances.
Whenever any ordinance annexing any territory to the city is passed upon its first reading or upon any subsequent or further reading, it shall, as soon thereafter as may be reasonably possible, be recorded at length in a separate record book kept by the city secretary for that purpose, together with an appropriate record of the date of its passage and whether the same is a passage upon its first or subsequent (including final) reading; provided, when any such annexation ordinance is passed on its final reading and approved by the mayor it shall not only be so recorded at length in such separate annexation ordinance book, but shall also then be recorded at length in the book in which ordinances generally are then being recorded, and in the form in which it was passed upon its final reading. In lieu of such books, the city secretary may make and preserve permanent microfilm copies of said ordinances in an electronic format or in an electronic storage system, which shall be appropriately indexed by number and subject matter or make and preserve copies of said ordinances in an electronic format stored or maintained in an electronic storage system or in a manner that enables searching or locating of said ordinances. The city secretary may also keep copies of said ordinances in such other form as the city secretary may consider most expedient. Such copies shall constitute official public records of the city.
