All ordinances passed by the city council shall be published, verbatim, once in the official newspaper of the city as designated by resolution in accordance with RCW 35A.21.230; provided, however, that in lieu of such verbatim publication a summary of the ordinance may be published in such official newspaper. Such summary must be approved by the city council and shall include:

If the ordinance to be summarized contains provisions regarding taxation or penalties or contains legal descriptions of real property, then the sections containing this matter shall be published in full and shall not be summarized. When a legal description of real property is involved, a notice shall also include the street address or addresses of the property described, if any. In the case of descriptions covering more than one street address, the street addresses of the four corners of the area described shall meet this requirement.

Publication shall be under the direction of the city clerk. All ordinances shall be available for public inspection in the office of the city clerk in accordance with RCW 35A.13.200 and 35A.12.150. (Ord. 3794 § 1, 1987; Ord. 3486 § 1, 1985; Ord. 3388 § 1, 1984; Ord. 2841 § 1, 1980.)
