A. No ordinance shall become operative until 30 days after its passage by the Council and signature by the Mayor, except measures necessary for the immediate preservation of the peace, health or safety of the Town, but such an emergency measure shall not become immediately operative unless it states in a separate section the reason why it is necessary that it should become immediately operative, and unless it is approved by the affirmative vote of three-fourths of all the members of the Council.

B. In addition to the provisions of subsection A of this Section, the Town Clerk shall certify the minutes of any Council meeting at which an ordinance, resolution or franchise, except an emergency measure is passed. The 30 day period specified in subsection A of this section shall be calculated as set forth in ARIZ. REV. STAT. §19-142, as amended. (12-08, Amended, 12/20/2012)
