No ordinance shall embrace more than one (1) subject, and that subject shall
be expressed in its title.
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ordinance may be amended or repealed by another ordinance.
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.
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.
