The board must place the date of introduction and a distinguishing number on each proposed draft of an ordinance.
(b) The board must publish a notice that the proposed ordinance is pending final action by the board. The notice must be published in accordance with IC 5-3-1 . However, notice of an ordinance establishing a budget must be given in accordance with the statutes governing budgets of the municipality served by the corporation.
(c) The board must include in the notice reference to the subject matter of the proposed ordinance and the time and place a hearing on it will be held, and must indicate that the proposed draft of an ordinance is available for public inspection at the office of the board.
