(a) Each ordinance and resolution submitted to the council shall be accompanied by a short, nontechnical synopsis of the legislation which is comprehensible to the average citizen and suitable for publication. The council staff may edit the synopsis to clarify information or standardize format.
(b) The edited synopsis shall be read whenever the legislation it accompanies is introduced at a council meeting for first or second reading and it shall become a part of the official record, but shall not have the legal effect of being part of the legislation. (Ord. 79-97 § 2 (part), 1979).
