I read this as the original city ordinance forbid carrying at the four places listed in LGC that cities are allowed to regulate. These are listed as parts 1 through 4 of section a. When they were told to, they tried to amend it to allow CHLs by including subsection 5, which just bans CHLs from open carrying where allowed to carry concealed. This is very poorly worded and done, but the part showing this is that the word "or" is between three and four. That makes all of A one sentence normally, but in this case it means that subsection 5 is a second sentence to be read with part a. The exceptions are all listed in part b.

Now, as to the legality of this law, I am not sure it would hold up because of the poor wording of the amendment. State law allows the city to ban at certain areas but does not allow them to override the state law requiring proper notice. A CHL can basically ignore the ordinance unless they properly post also. I will add the warning that you might still get arrested or ticketed (city ordinances are only class C misdemeanors) for violating it but should win in court if you do.
