§ 2.08. Mayor's action; reconsideration by council.

(a)

Approval; Veto. All resolutions and motions (1) which create any liability against the City, or (2) which provide for the expenditure or appropriation of its money, or (3) to sell any City property, and all ordinances, passed by the City Council shall be deposited with the City Clerk. If the Mayor approves of them, he shall sign them. Those of which he disapproves he shall return to the Council, with his written objections, at the next regular meeting of the Council occurring not less than five days after their passage. The Mayor may disapprove of any one or more sums appropriated in any ordinance, 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 or any specified resolution or motion with his written objections within the designated time, it shall become effective despite the absence of his signature.

(b)

Every resolution and motion specified in subsection (a) of this Section and every ordinance which is returned to the Council by the Mayor shall be reconsidered by the Council. If, after such reconsideration, two-thirds of all the Aldermen elected to the Council agree to pass an ordinance, resolution, or motion, notwithstanding the Mayor's refusal to approve it, then it shall be effective. The vote on the question of passage over the Mayor's veto shall be by yeas and nays, and shall be recorded in the minutes.
