Upon passage or adoption, every ordinance and resolution shall be presented to the Mayor by the Clerk of Council. If the Mayor approves such ordinance or resolution, he shall sign and return it, but if he does not approve it, he shall veto it and return it with a statement of his objections to the Council. This statement shall be recorded in Council's journal.
The Council shall reconsider the vote on the passage of an ordinance or resolution vetoed by the Mayor not later than at its next regular meeting. If, on reconsideration, it is approved by two-thirds of the members of Council, it shall become effective as provided in Section 2.15 of this Charter.
If any ordinance or resolution shall not be returned by the Mayor within 10 days after it was presented to him, it shall become effective in the same manner as if it had been signed by the Mayor on the last day of the 10-day period. The Mayor may exercise item veto over appropriation ordinances or resolutions and item vetoes shall be subject to the other provisions in this Charter relating to the Mayor's veto power.
