All resolutions and motions which create any liability against the city or provide for the expenditure or appropriation of its money, or provide for the sale of city or school property, and all ordinances passed by the City Council shall be deposited with the City Clerk. If the Mayor approves of them, he or she shall sign them. Those which the Mayor disapproves shall be returned to the City Council, with his or her written objections, within five business days. The Mayor may disapprove of any one or more sums appropriated in any ordinances, resolution or motion making an appropriation, and if so, the remainder shall be effective. However, the Mayor may disapprove entirely of an ordinance, resolution or motion making an appropriation. If the Mayor fails to return any ordinance, resolution or motion with his or her written objections, within the designated time, it shall become effective despite the absence of his or her signature.
