The assembly may in a single ordinance adopt or amend by reference provisions of a standard published code of regulations. The regular ordinance procedure applies except that neither the ordinance nor its amendments need be distributed to the public or read in full at the hearings. For a period of fifteen (15) days before adoption, at least five (5) copies of the code must be made available for public inspection at a time and place set out in the hearing notice. Only the adopting ordinance need be printed after adoption. The assembly shall provide for the adopted code to be sold to the public. [Code 1974 §5.41.035.]
