§ 2.16. Authentication and Recording; Codification; Printing.

(a)

Authentication and Recording. The city secretary shall authenticate by his signature and record in full in a properly indexed book kept for the purpose all ordinances and resolutions adopted by the council.

(b)

Codification. The council shall revise and update annually a codification of all city ordinances and resolutions having the force and effect of law. The general codification shall be in bound or loose-leaf form together with this charter and any amendments thereto, pertinent provisions of the Constitution and other laws of the State of Texas, and such codes of technical regulations and other rules and regulations as the council may specify. This compilation shall be known and cited officially as the "Terrell City Code". Copies of the code shall be furnished to city officers, placed in libraries and public offices for free public reference and made available for purchase by the public at a reasonable price fixed by the council.

(c)

Printing of Ordinances and Resolutions. The council may cause each ordinance and resolution having the force and effect of law and each amendment to this charter to be printed promptly following its adoption, and the printed ordinances, resolutions, and charter amendments may be distributed or sold to the public at reasonable prices to be fixed by the council. Following publication of the first Terrell City Code and at all times thereafter, the ordinances, resolutions, and charter amendments shall be printed in substantially the same style as the Code currently in effect and shall be suitable in form for integration therein. The council shall make such further arrangements as it deems desirable with respect to reproduction and distribution of any current changes in or additions to the provisions of the Constitution and other laws of the State of Texas, or the codes of technical regulations and other rules and regulations included in the Code.
