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 he does not approve it, he shall return the same to the Council, by delivery to the Clerk, within said ten (10) 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 ten (10) 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 ten (10) 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 with his objections.
