The council may provide at any time it may deem proper, for the revision and codification of its ordinances, bylaws, and permanent resolutions, or for the adoption of a code or codes by ordinance. Such code or codes and the revisions or amendments thereof may relate to the whole system of city bylaws, ordinances, and permanent resolutions, or may relate to that portion of such ordinances, bylaws, and permanent resolutions which relate to, affect, or purport to govern any particular subject or subjects or subdivisions of municipal legislation. The council shall have full power and authority to prescribe the manner in which the code or codes, revisions, or amendments thereto, shall be made public, whether by proclamation of any officer or officers of the city by posting or by publication, one or all, but it shall not be necessary unless so prescribed by the council for such code or codes, revisions, or amendments thereto, to be published in a newspaper or newspapers. Nor shall it be necessary that such code or codes, revisions, or amendments thereto, be spread at length upon the minutes. The council may prescribe that such code or codes, revisions, or amendments thereto may be certified by and filed with the city clerk, or other corresponding officer, in lieu of spreading the same on the minutes; and the council may prescribe the manner in which copies of such code or codes, revisions, or amendments thereto, may be officially certified for use by the inhabitants or by the courts. The council may adopt and provide for the maintenance in a designated office of the city of a comprehensive zone map of the city open for inspection by the public at all reasonable times, and may make such zone map a part of any ordinance by reference thereto in such ordinance and without publication of such zone map in any newspaper. Such zone map need not be in one piece but may for convenience be in sections. A zone map of territory newly added to the city shall be treated as a comprehensive zone map of the city for purposes of application of the provisions of the next preceding sentence.
