paper when required by state law or when directed by the common council. The
ordinance shall be effective on the day after it is first published. In the case of a
lengthy ordinance to be published in the official paper, the summary publication
process of Minn. Stat. Ch. 331A may be used.

title and text of the summary shall be approved by the common council upon determination
by the council that the summary clearly informs the public of the intent and effect of the
ordinance. Before any such ordinance shall be recorded, the publication thereof as
aforesaid shall be proved by the affidavit of the foreman or publisher of such paper. This
