(A) Introduced. A bill for ordinance shall be introduced in the appropriate committee and shall be read one time. After review by the appropriate committees, said bill will be reported to the Board of Trustees for action.
(B) Board consideration. Following receiving a bill for ordinance and report from a committee, the Board of Trustees shall have the bill read for the first time. The first reading of a bill of ordinance shall be done by the Village Clerk in its entirety or by reading the title only, as directed by the Board. The first reading may be done at any time after the bill of ordinance is received from a committee. Before passing the bill, the Board of Trustees shall direct the Village Clerk to read the bill of ordinance a second time, either in its entirety or by title only. While it is preferred that the second reading of a bill of ordinance not occur on the day that the Board receives it from a committee, the Board may have the second reading of a bill of ordinance on that date if the necessity for timely action makes it prudent to do so.
(C) Passage by yeas and nays; record. The yeas and nays shall be taken upon the passage of all ordinances, and on all propositions to create any liability against the village, or for the expenditure or appropriation of its money, and all other cases at the request of any member and entered on the journal of its proceeding and the concurrence of a majority of all the members elected in the Village Board shall be necessary for the passage of any such ordinance or proposition; provided, it shall require three-fourths of the Trustees to sell any village property.
(D) Approval and veto. All ordinances passed by the Village Board shall, before they take effect, be deposited in the office of the Village Clerk and, if the Mayor approves thereof, he or she shall sign the same and, such as he or she shall not approve, he or she shall return to the Village Board, with his or her objections thereto in writing at the next regular meeting of the Village Board occurring no less than five days after the passage thereof. Such veto may extend to any one or more items or appropriations contained in any ordinance making an appropriation, or to the entire ordinance; and in case the veto only extends to a part of such ordinance, the residue thereof shall take effect and be in force. But in case the Mayor shall fail to return any ordinance with his or her objections thereto by the time aforesaid, he or she shall be deemed to have approved such ordinance and the same shall take effect accordingly.
(E) Reconsideration; passing over veto. Upon the return of any ordinance by the Mayor, the vote by which the same has passed shall be reconsidered by the Village Board and, if after such reconsideration, two-thirds of all of the members elected to the Village Board shall agree by yeas and nays to pass the same, it shall go into effect, notwithstanding the Mayor may refuse to approve thereof. The vote to pass the same over the Mayor’s veto shall be taken by yeas and nays and entered in the Journal of Minutes.
