(B) Required Majority Vote: The yeas and nays shall be taken upon the passage of all ordinances and on all propositions to create any liability against the city or for the expenditure or appropriation of its money, and in all other cases at the request of any member which shall be entered on the journal of the proceedings; and the concurrence of a majority of all the members elected in the city council shall be necessary to the passage of any such ordinance or proposition; provided, the city shall require three-fourths (3/4) of all the aldermen elect to sell any city property.
(C) Passing Over Veto: In case the mayor shall veto any ordinance or any part of an ordinance and return the same to the council together with his objections thereto, the vote by which the same was passed shall be reconsidered by the council; and if, after such reconsideration, two-thirds (2/3) of all the aldermen elected to the city council shall agree by yeas and nays to pass the same, it shall go into effect, notwithstanding the mayor may refuse to approve thereof. The vote to pass the same over the mayor's veto shall be taken by yeas and nays and entered on the journal.
(D) Reconsideration Of Vote: No vote of the city council shall be reconsidered or rescinded at any special meeting thereof unless at such special meeting there be present as large a number of aldermen as were present when such vote was taken.
