(2) The proposed amendment shall be set forth in full in the resolution, and which may include any matters which might have been included in the original certificate of incorporation.

Each governing body shall also cause a copy of the application and all accompanying documents to be spread upon or otherwise made a part of the minutes of the meeting of the governing body at which the final action upon the application is taken. Within 40 days following the adoption of a resolution approving the proposed amendment by that governing body that was the last to adopt a resolution but only if the governing bodies of both the authorizing county and the principal municipality have adopted a resolution, the chair of the board or other chief executive officer of the authority and the secretary of the authority shall sign and file for record in the office of the judge of probate of the authorizing county a certificate in the name of and on behalf of the authority, under its seal, reciting the adoption of respective resolutions by the board and by the governing bodies of the authorizing county and the principal municipality and setting forth the proposed amendment.
