amendments shall be proposed in writing, and only by setting out in full each
amended section.
All county ordinances and amendments shall be published pursuant to KRS Chapter
424 after passage and may be published in full or in summary form at the discretion
of the fiscal court. If applicable, a sketch, drawing, or map, together with a narrative
description written in layman's terms, may be used in lieu of metes and bounds
descriptions. If published in summary form, publication shall contain notice of a
place in the county where the full text of the ordinance or amendment is available
for public inspection.
Traffic, building, housing, plumbing, electrical, safety, and other self-contained
codes may be adopted by reference if a copy of the code is kept with the adopting
ordinance and is made a part of the permanent records of the county.

to KRS 67.830 adopted a charter county form of government or pursuant to KRS
