(a) Every legislative act of Council shall be by ordinance or resolution. No ordinance shall be adopted without the affirmative vote of at least three members of Council, and no ordinance or resolution shall be introduced unless reviewed by the City Solicitor and is in written or typewritten form. Every ordinance shall be read by title only upon introduction as a bill, unless one member of Council requests it to be read at length. Except for amendments, it shall be read by title only upon final passage which shall not occur sooner than three days following its introduction. A complete copy of every bill introduced shall be available for public inspection at the City Clerk's office during regular office hours. The vote upon every motion, ordinance or resolution shall be taken by roll call, and the yeas and nays shall be entered upon the minutes.
(Ord. 14-2002. Passed 5-22-02.)
(b) All ordinances adopted by Council shall be submitted forthwith to the Mayor who shall, within ten days after such submission, either approve an ordinance by affixing his signature thereto or disapprove it by returning it to Council through delivery to the City Clerk together with a statement of his objections thereto. No ordinance shall take effect without the Mayor's approval unless he fails to return it to Council within ten days after receiving it or unless Council, upon reconsideration of the ordinance on or after the third day following its return, by resolution agreed to by four of its members, decides to override the Mayor's veto. (Ord. 2-1962 §230.)
