(1)No ordinance shall embrace more than one
(1)subject, and that subject shall be
expressed in its title.
(2)No ordinance shall be passed at the meeting of the board of aldermen at which it is
introduced, nor shall it be passed at any succeeding meeting until it has been read in
full at that meeting and free discussion allowed thereon. Any ordinance may be
amended or repealed by another ordinance.
(3)Every ordinance or resolution, except a resolution to adjourn, that has passed the
board of aldermen shall immediately be presented to the mayor for his approval or
disapproval. The mayor may disapprove any item or items of an appropriation
measure; the parts approved shall be in force and the item or items disapproved
shall be void, unless repassed in the same manner required for passage of
ordinances over the mayor's veto. If the mayor approves the ordinance or resolution,
he shall sign it and it shall then be in force. If he disapproves the ordinance or
resolution, or any item of an appropriation measure, he shall return it, with his
objections, to the board of aldermen, which shall enter his objections in full upon its
journal and proceed at its next or at its second regular meeting thereafter to consider
it. If, after such reconsideration, two-thirds (2/3) of the members of the board of
aldermen agree to its passage, the ordinance shall be in force, but in such cases the
votes shall be taken by yeas and nays and recorded in the journal.
(4)If the mayor does not sign an ordinance or resolution presented to him, and does not
return it on or before the day on which the board of aldermen holds its regular
meeting next after the meeting at which the ordinance or resolution was passed, and
three
(3)days have intervened between the presentation to the mayor and the
meeting, the ordinance or resolution shall be in force as if he had signed it.
