SECTION 6. VETO POWERS.

   Every ordinance or resolution adopted by Council shall, before it goes into effect, be presented promptly to the Mayor. If the Mayor approves such ordinance or resolution, the Mayor shall sign it indicating the Mayor's approval and return it to the Clerk within ten days after its adoption by Council. If the Mayor does not approve it, the Mayor shall return it to the Clerk within ten days with the Mayor's written objections, which shall be entered in full upon the journal of Council. If the Mayor does not sign or so return an ordinance or resolution within said ten-day period, it shall take effect in the same manner as if the Mayor had signed it. The Mayor may approve or veto the whole or any item of an ordinance or resolution appropriating money; but otherwise, the Mayor's approval or veto shall be addressed to the entire ordinance or resolution. When the Mayor has vetoed an ordinance or resolution, or a part or item thereof as herein provided, the Council shall, not later than its next regular meeting, proceed to reconsider it; and if upon reconsideration, the ordinance or resolution or part or item thereof vetoed by the Mayor be approved by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the members of Council, it shall then take effect without the signature of the Mayor, in the same manner as if the Mayor had signed it. In all such cases, the votes shall be taken by roll call and entered upon the journal of Council. (Amended 5-8-84.)
