1. General. The Mayor should attend meetings of Council but shall have no vote therein. The Mayor may, however, take part in the discussion upon all matters under consideration by Council and may introduce and propose ordinances and resolutions, and if the adoption of the same shall be moved by a member of Council, they shall be considered and acted upon as if introduced and proposed by a member of Council.
2. Veto Power. Every ordinance and resolution of the Council shall be signed by its President and shall be promptly presented to the Mayor. If the Mayor approves such ordinance or resolution, he or she shall sign and return it within five (5) days after its passage or adoption by Council. If he or she does not approve it, he or she shall return it to the Council in such five (5) day period together with a written statement of his or her objections, which statement shall be entered in its entirety on the Journal of Council. The Council may reconsider the vote on the passage of such legislation disapproved by the Mayor not later than thirty (30) days after the date upon which the Mayor returned the same to Council with his or her objections. If, on reconsideration, such legislation is approved by at least two-thirds of the members of Council, it shall take effect at the time of the vote of such approval or at such later date as shall be specified in such ordinance or resolution. If any ordinance or resolution shall not be returned by the Mayor within five (5) days after its passage or adoption by Council it shall become effective in the same manner as if he or she had signed it. The Mayor may approve or disapprove, in the manner provided above, the whole or any item of an ordinance appropriating money. The item or items so disapproved shall be returned to the Council for its consideration and shall be void unless repassed by the Council in the manner herein prescribed, but otherwise his or her approval or disapproval shall cover the entire ordinance or resolution.
3. Charter Amendments. The Mayor may not veto an ordinance by Council submitting a Charter Amendment to the vote of the people.
