. (a) Except as provided in subdivision (c), within 15 days
after the passage of an ordinance it shall be published once, with
the names of the members voting for and against the ordinance, in a
newspaper published in the county if there is one, and if there is no
newspaper published in the county, the ordinance shall be posted in
a prominent location at the board of supervisors' chambers within the

The local agency, at its option, may include in an ordinance
reclassifying land either a brief description accompanied by a map of
the boundaries of the property, as recited in the notice of hearing,
or a complete metes and bounds description accompanied by a map
depicting the reclassified property and adjacent properties. Except
for maps, any exhibit attached to and incorporated by reference in an
ordinance need not be published in its entirety if the publication
lists all those exhibits by title or description and includes a
notation that a complete copy of each exhibit is on file with the
clerk of the board of supervisors and is available for public
inspection and copying in that office in accordance with the
California Public Records Act, Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section
6250) of Division 7 of Title 1. A certificate of the clerk of the
board of supervisors or order entered in the minutes of the board
that the ordinance has been duly published or posted is prima facie
proof of the publication or posting.
