Publication is complete, if more than one insertion is required, on the date of the last publication.

3.

Any publication which is required by this article must be verified by the affidavit of the publisher, which must be filed with the city clerk and retained in the records of the city at least until all of the bonds and other securities which pertain to any tax increment account have been paid in full or any claim which relates to those bonds or securities is barred by a statute of limitations.

4.

The affidavit of publication is prima facie evidence of the publication of the notice in accordance with the requirements of this section.
