(A) All resolutions and motions which create any liability against the city, which provide for the expenditure or appropriation of its money or which sell any city property and all ordinances passed by the City Council, shall be deposited with the City Clerk. If the Mayor approves an ordinance or resolution, the Mayor shall sign it. Those ordinances, resolutions and motions which the Mayor disapproves shall be returned to the City Council, with the Mayor’s written objections, at the next regular meeting of the City Council occurring not less than five days after their passage. The Mayor may disapprove of any one or more sums appropriated in any ordinance, resolution or motion making an appropriation and, if so, the remainder shall be effective.
(B) However, the Mayor may disapprove entirely of an ordinance, resolution or motion making an appropriation. If the Mayor fails to return any ordinance or any specified resolution or motion with his or her written objections within the designated time, it shall become effective despite the absence of the Mayor’s signature.
