(b)
(1) The governing body of the city or incorporated town granting financial aid to a state-supported college or university shall do so by ordinance, which shall specify the time and amount of the payments to be made, the name of the college or university receiving the funds, and the source of the funds.
(2) The ordinance shall not be effective for more than a twelve-month period of time.
