Sec. 3.10. Amendment and repeal of ordinances and resolutions. 3.10.1 An ordinance or resolution which repeals all or part of a previous ordinance or resolution, respectively, shall give the number, if any, in the title of the ordinance or resolution to be repealed in whole or in part. No ordinance or resolution shall be amended by reference to the title alone, but an ordinance or resolution which amends such ordinance or resolution, respectively, shall set forth in full each section to be amended and shall indicate by appropriate type or symbols, matter to be omitted or added. Amendment or repeal of an ordinance or resolution shall require a majority vote of all members of the council, unless otherwise provided in this Charter or by state statutes. 3.10.2 Repeal of initiative ordinances. An ordinance passed under the initiative power shall not be repealed or amended by the council except by submission to the voters of the question by the council at a regular municipal or special election. Sec. 3.11. Review and revision of ordinances and indexing of resolutions. The city shall review, revise and rearrange its ordinance code and its resolution index with such additions and deletions as may be deemed necessary by the council at least once every two years. The ordinance code and the resolution index may be published in a book, pamphlet or loose-leaf form and copies shall be made available by the council at the office of the city clerk for general distribution to the public for a reasonable charge. Incorporation in such a code shall be a sufficient publication of any ordinance provision not previously published, if a notice is placed in the official newspaper for at least two successive weeks that copies of the codification are available at the office of the city clerk.
