   (a)    The Mayor may introduce ordinances and resolutions and take part in the discussions on all matters coming before the Council, but shall have no vote.
(Amended 11-5-74)
(b)    If the Mayor approves any ordinance or resolution, he shall approve it within ten (10) days after its passage or adoption by the Council. The Mayor may veto any ordinance or resolution passed by the Council. The Mayor may approve or disapprove the whole or any item or part of any ordinance or resolution appropriating money, but otherwise his approval or disapproval shall be addressed to the entire ordinance or resolution. In case of a veto, the matter shall be returned to Council with a statement in writing by the Mayor of his objections, which shall be entered into the official journal. Council shall consider such ordinance or resolution not later than at its next regular meeting. Council may override the Mayor's veto by an affirmative vote of five (5) of its members and upon receiving such an affirmative vote, such ordinance or resolution shall then take effect as if it had received the signature of the Mayor. If any ordinance or resolution shall not be signed or vetoed by the Mayor within ten (10) days after passage, it shall become effective as if he had signed it on the last day of said ten (10) day period.
