1-104 : Procedure governing passage of resolutions and ordinances.

  1. Resolutions and ordinances defined.
    1. Ordinances are general laws to be applied alike to all persons, circumstances, and relationships coming under the jurisdiction of the City of Baxter.
    2. Resolutions are those matters of business which may be brought before the board of mayor and councilmen of an administrative nature having a "one-time" effect and not having the effect of a general law. Example: Resolutions would cover such matters as salaries or bonuses for employees, purchases of office or equipment or furnishings, or further study of a proposal that might become a general law.
  2. A resolution shall take effect upon its being clearly stated for the record and upon its approval by a majority vote of the board of mayor and councilmen.
  3. An ordinance shall become law and take effect and remain in effect from the date of its passage. Passage of an ordinance shall be by "yea" vote of a majority of the board of mayor and councilmen on a first and second reading. (2011 Code, § 1-104, modified)
