Any ordinance or resolution passed by the Council shall be signed by the President of Council or other presiding officer and shall be presented to the Mayor by the Clerk of Council. If the Mayor approves such ordinance or resolution, the Mayor shall sign the ordinance or resolution within ten (10) days after its passage by the Council; but if the Mayor does not approve it, the ordinance or resolution shall be returned to the Council with the Mayor's objections in writing within said ten (10) days by delivery to the Clerk of Council. The objections shall be entered in full on the Journal of the Council. The Mayor may approve or disapprove the whole or any item of an ordinance appropriating money, but otherwise the approval or disapproval shall be addressed to the entire ordinance or resolution. If the Mayor does not sign or veto an ordinance or resolution within the time specified after its passage, it shall take effect in the same manner as if the Mayor had signed it. When the Mayor has disapproved of an ordinance or resolution or any item thereof, as herein provided, the Council shall, not later than the next regular meeting, proceed to reconsider it, and if on reconsideration the ordinance, resolution or item is approved by an affirmative vote of five (5) members elected to Council, it shall then take effect as if it had received the signature of the Mayor.
