SECTION 11. PROCEDURE ON DISAPPROVAL OF LEGISLATION BY MAYOR.
   An ordinance or resolution passed as an emergency legislation, without a dissenting vote of Council, shall not be subject to disapproval of the Mayor, and it shall be his duty to forthwith authenticate it by his signature.
   Every other ordinance or resolution of the Council shall be presented to the Mayor for his consideration before it goes into effect. The Mayor, if he approves it, shall sign it and file it with the Clerk forthwith. The Mayor may approve or disapprove the whole or any item of an ordinance appropriating money, but otherwise his approval or disapproval shall be addressed to the entire ordinance or resolution. Unless an ordinance or resolution is filed with the Clerk of Council with written notice of disapproval within ten (10) days after its passage by Council, it shall take effect as though the Mayor had approved it. When the Mayor has disapproved an ordinance or resolution or item of it, as herein provided, Council shall at its next regularly called meeting thereafter reconsider it, and if upon such reconsideration the ordinance, resolution or item is reapproved by the vote of five (5) or more of the members of Council, it shall take effect as provided therein, notwithstanding the disapproval of the Mayor; otherwise the disapproved measure or item thereof, as the case may be, shall not take effect or be in force.
