One copy of any rule, ordinance or code so adopted, unless more copies are required by law, shall be kept by the Clerk for review by the public and the Clerk shall furnish a copy at cost to any person upon request.

110.02 Official Statutes, Codes, Regulations and Ordinances. References in this Code to Minnesota Statutes or to Federal Statutes are to statutes in effect on the date of enactment of this Code, unless otherwise provided in this Code.

110.03 Relation to State Law. The provisions of this Code are to be construed as the fullest exercise of the regulatory and other powers granted to the City and its officers by State Law unless otherwise provided.
