Colorado Revised Statutes Title 31. Government Municipal § 31-16-106. Reading before city council--publication

No ordinance shall be adopted by any city council of any city unless the same has been previously introduced and read at a preceding regular or special meeting of such city council and published in full in the manner provided in section 31-16-105 at least ten days before its adoption. The previous introduction of the ordinance at such preceding meeting of the city council and the fact of its publication shall appear in the certificate and the attestation of the clerk on the ordinance after its adoption. The provisions of section 31-16-105 shall apply to any ordinance adopted by a city council; except that, if publication after introduction was in a newspaper, publication after adoption may be in the same newspaper by title only and shall contain the date of the initial publication and shall reprint in full any section, subsection, or paragraph of the ordinance which was amended following the initial publication. Publication following adoption may be in full at the discretion of the city council.
