plete copy of the proposed ordinance or ordinance amendment
shall be published in the City's official newspaper at
least seven (7) days prior to the City Council's considera-
tion for final passage (second reading).
3. If the ordinance or ordinance amendment is approved by the
City Council with no changes to the published text, the City

brief description of the ordinance or ordinance amendment
and the date on which it was published as a first reading.
This notice shall further state that the full text of the
ordinance or ordinance amendment is available for inspection
