Every ordinance, order or resolution of the Common Council shall immediately upon its passage, enrollment, attestation and signature by the Clerk-Treasurer and presiding officer, be presented by the Clerk-Treasurer to the Mayor, and a record of the time of such presentation made by the Clerk-Treasurer.
(A) Within ten days after an ordinance, order or resolution is presented to him or her, the Mayor shall:
(1) Approve the ordinance, order or resolution, by entering his or her approval on it, signing it and sending the Common Council a message announcing his or her approval; or
(2) Veto the ordinance, order or resolution, by returning it to the Common Council with a message announcing his or her veto and stating his or her reasons for the veto.
