document, a resolution in those terms shall be taken to have been passed at a
meeting of the council held on the day on which the document is signed or, if
the members do not sign it on the same day, on the day on which the last
member to sign signs the document.

meeting of the council, each member must be advised as soon as practicable and
given a copy of the terms of the resolution.

(3) For the purposes of subsection (1), two or more separate documents
containing a statement in identical terms, each of which is signed by one or
more members, shall be taken to constitute one document.
