At each reading of an ordinance it shall be open to discussion and amendment and may be referred to a committee, and shall be passed to the next reading, unless some other disposition is made of it by a vote of the council. On final passage the "yeas" and the "nays" shall be called and recorded and a concurrence of a majority of all the members elected to the council shall be required for its passage. Provided, that one-half (1/2) plus one of the members of the full council may dispense with the three (3) readings and pass the ordinance at any meeting.
(C) Endorsement After Passage: When such ordinance is passed it shall be signed by the clerk, and the date of its passage by the council shall be added thereto, and within three (3) days thereafter it shall be presented to the mayor, or in case of his absence from the city, to the president of the council for his consideration. If he approves the same, he shall attach his signature thereto, together with the date of such approval.
(D) Veto By Mayor; Passage Over Mayor's Veto; Certificate: Should the mayor not approve the ordinance, he shall return the same to the council with his objections to the same in writing on or before the date of the next regular meeting after the same was presented to him. When an ordinance is so returned by the mayor, the council shall proceed to reconsider the same. Any ordinance vetoed by the mayor may be passed over his veto by a vote of one-half (1/2) plus one of the members of the full council 1 .
When any ordinance has been passed over the mayor's veto, as provided in this subsection, the city clerk shall annex a certificate to the ordinance stating that the same was vetoed by the mayor, giving the date of such veto, and that on its reconsideration by the council it received the required vote of the members of the full council, together with the date of such action.
(E) Ordinance Becoming Law Without Mayor's Signature; Certificate: Should the mayor refuse or neglect to sign any such ordinance and return the same with his objections in writing on or before the date of the next regular meeting after the same was submitted to him, it shall become a law without his signature.
When any ordinance has become a law without the signature of the mayor, as provided in this subsection, the city clerk shall annex a certificate to such ordinance to the effect that the mayor has failed to sign or veto the same, and it has therefore become a law without his signature.
(F) When Ordinance Passed: An ordinance shall be considered passed on the date of its approval by the mayor, and in case of his vetoing an ordinance, on the date of the passage of such ordinance over his veto, and in the case of the failure of the mayor to sign or veto an ordinance, on the date of the next regular meeting after such ordinance was presented to him.
