§ 107. Ordinances; adoption process
(a) Every ordinance shall be introduced in writing. The enacting clause of all ordinances
shall be “The Council of the City of Barre hereby ordains...”. If the Council passes
the proposed ordinance upon first reading, it shall cause it to be published in the
form passed in a newspaper of general circulation in the City or such other manner
of publication as acceptable in State law, at least once, together with a notice of
the time and place when and where there will be a public hearing to consider the same
for final passage. The first such publication shall be at least three days prior to
the date of the public hearing.
(b) After the public hearing, the Council may finally pass the ordinance with or without
amendment. If the Council amends the proposed ordinance, then it shall cause the amended
ordinance to be published at least once together with a notice of the time and place
of the public hearing, at which such amended ordinance will be further considered
and which publication shall be at least three days prior to the public hearing. Once
the ordinance is adopted by the Council, the City Clerk shall cause the ordinance
as adopted to be published in a newspaper of general circulation within the City or
such other manner of publication as acceptable in State law, and said ordinance shall
take effect 14 days after the date of the publication. (Amended 2019, No. M-3, § 2, eff. April 19, 2019.)
