(a) All resolutions and motions which create any liability against the City, provide for the expenditure or appropriation of its money or sell any City or school property, and all ordinances, passed by Council shall be deposited with the City Clerk. If the Mayor approves them, he or she shall sign them. If he or she disapproves them, he or she shall return the same to Council, with his or her written objections at the next regular meeting of 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. 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 his or her signature.
(1942 Code Chap. II, Sec. 9)
(b) Every resolution, motion and ordinance specified in subsection (a) hereof which is returned to Council by the Mayor shall be reconsidered by Council. If, after such reconsideration, two-thirds of all of the Aldermen elected to Council pass an ordinance, resolution or motion, notwithstanding the Mayor's refusal to approve it, then it shall be effective. The vote on the question of passage over the Mayor's veto shall be recorded in the journal.
(1942 Code Chap. II, Sec. 10)
(c) No vote of Council shall be reconsidered or rescinded at a special meeting, unless there are present at the special meeting as many Aldermen as were present when the vote was taken.
(1942 Code Chap. II, Sec. 11)
