In addition to the duties set forth in Section 121.04
, the Mayor may introduce ordinances and resolutions, take part in the discussion on all matters coming before Council and make recommendations to Council for the welfare of the City as he deems advisable.
At the second regular meeting in January, he shall report to Council concerning the finances and other affairs of the City.
Every ordinance or resolution passed by Council shall be signed by the President of Council, attested by the Clerk, and promptly presented to the Mayor for consideration. If the Mayor approves such legislation, he shall sign it and file it with the Clerk.
The Mayor may approve or disapprove the whole or any part of any item of an ordinance appropriating money, but otherwise his approval or disapproval shall be addressed to the entire ordinance or resolution. If he disapproves it or any item of it he shall file it with written notice of the disapproval with the Clerk.
Unless an ordinance or resolution is filed with the Clerk with written notice of disapproval within ten days after its passage by Council, it shall take effect as though the Mayor had signed it.
When the Mayor has disapproved an ordinance or resolution, or any item of it as herein provided, Council shall, at its next regular meeting thereafter, reconsider it, and if upon such reconsideration the ordinance, resolution or item is approved by five or more members of Council, it shall take effect notwithstanding the disapproval of the Mayor.
