§ 11018.11. Records of ordinances maintained by city clerk.
(a) Records.--Within one month after enactment, each ordinance shall be certified and recorded by the city clerk in a book provided by the city which shall, at all times, be open to the inspection of the public. A standard or nationally recognized code or a portion of the standard or nationally recognized code enacted by reference need not be recorded in or attached to the ordinance book but shall be deemed to have been legally recorded if the ordinance by which the code was enacted by reference is recorded, with an accompanying notation stating where the full text of the code is filed. A failure to record within the time provided shall not be deemed a defect in the process of the enactment or adoption of the ordinance.
(b) Compilation or codification.--At the close of each year, with the advice and assistance of the city solicitor, the city clerk shall bind, compile or codify all the ordinances of the city, or true copies of the ordinances, which remain in force and effect.
(c) Indexing.--The city clerk shall also properly index the record books, compilation or codification of ordinances.
(d) Retention.--The retention of ordinances shall be in accordance with 53 Pa.C.S. Ch. 13 Subch. F (relating to records).
(e) Attachment.--A city ordinance or portion of a city ordinance which prior to June 6, 1963, is attached to the city ordinance book shall be considered in force as if the ordinance or portions of the ordinance were recorded directly upon the pages of the ordinance book.
