A. The Mayor shall preside at all meetings of the Council but shall have no vote therein except in the event of a tie vote of members of Council upon any ordinance or resolution or other action of the Council including that required by Section 4.04 C. In the event of such tie vote, the Mayor, presiding at such meeting, shall have the power to vote upon such ordinance, resolution or other action and his vote shall have the same legal effect as a vote of a member of Council. The Mayor, in addition to presiding at Council meetings, may take part in the discussion upon all matters under consideration by the Council and may introduce and propose ordinances and resolutions. If adoption thereof be moved by a member of Council, the same shall be considered and acted upon as if introduced and proposed by a member of Council.
B. Every ordinance or resolution adopted by the Council shall be signed by its President or in his absence by a President pro-tem, designated by the Council, shall be attested by the Clerk-Treasurer, and promptly presented to the Mayor. If the Mayor approves such ordinance or resolution, he shall sign it within five (5) days after its passage by the Council. If he does not approve it, he shall return the same to the Council, by delivery to the Clerk-Treasurer, within said five (5) day period together with a written statement of his objections, which statement in its entirety shall be entered on the journal of the Council.
C. The Mayor may approve or disapprove in the manner above provided, the whole or any item of an ordinance or resolution appropriating money and the item or items so disapproved shall be void unless repassed by the Council in the manner herein prescribed, but otherwise his approval or disapproval shall cover the entire ordinance or resolution.
D. If the Mayor does not sign or disapprove an ordinance or resolution within said five (5) day period after its passage by the Council, it shall take effect in the same manner as if he had signed it on the last day of such five (5) day period.
E. The Council may reconsider the vote on the passage of any legislation disapproved by the Mayor not later than thirty (30) days after the date upon which the Mayor returned the same to the Council. If on reconsideration such legislation is approved by five (5) members of the Council, it shall become effective as of the time provided in Section 3.13.
