The procedure for the passage of an ordinance shall be as follows:
An ordinance may be introduced by any member of the board of trustees. When first introduced, said ordinance shall be read to the board of trustees and a motion shall be made to have the same engrossed by the clerk upon the records of the proceedings of the meeting at which said proposed ordinance is introduced. The ordinance may then be referred to the proper committee for consideration and report, or may be called up for passage at the meeting at which it was introduced, or any subsequent meeting, when it shall again be read. The voting upon the passage of an ordinance shall be by ayes and nays, and the village clerk shall call upon each trustee in alphabetical order and record his or her vote. If the vote is sufficient to enact the ordinance presented in accordance with applicable law, the ordinance shall be deemed to be enacted. The mayor shall cast a vote on said ordinance: a) where the vote of the trustees has resulted in a tie; or b) where one-half (1/2) of the trustees elected have voted in favor of the ordinance; or c) where a vote greater than a majority of the corporate authorities is required by law. After the ordinance has been approved by the mayor, said ordinance shall become effective immediately, or at such time as the appropriate action has been taken to validate said ordinance, in accordance with applicable law.
