No ordinance shall be passed except by bill, and no bill shall become an ordinance unless on its final passage a majority of the members elected to the Council shall vote therefore, and the "ayes" and "nays" shall be entered on the journal. Every proposed ordinance shall be introduced to the Council in writing and shall be read by title or in full two (2) times prior to passage, both readings may occur at a single meeting of the Council. If the proposed ordinance is read by title only, copies of the proposed ordinance shall be made available for public inspection prior to the time the bill is under consideration by the Council. No bill shall become an ordinance until it shall have been signed by the officer presiding at the meeting of the Council at which it shall have been passed. When so signed, it shall be delivered to the Mayor for his/her approval and signature or his/her veto.
[R.O. 2008 §110.260; Code 1968 §1-7; CC 1988 §2-58]
No bill shall become an ordinance until it has been signed by the officer presiding at the meeting of the Council at which the same was passed. When so signed it shall be delivered to the Mayor for his/her approval and signature, or his/her veto. When returned to the Council, with the approval of the Mayor endorsed thereon, such bill shall become an ordinance.
[R.O. 2008 §110.270; Code 1968 §1-9, 1-10; CC 1988 §2-60]
A. 
Every bill presented to the Mayor and returned to the Council with the approval of the Mayor shall become an ordinance, and every bill presented as aforesaid, but returned with his/her objections thereto, shall stand reconsidered. The Council shall cause the objections of the Mayor to be entered at large upon the journal, and proceed at its convenience to consider the question pending, which shall be in this form: "Shall the bill pass, the objections of the Mayor thereto notwithstanding?" The votes on this question shall be taken by yeas and nays and the names entered upon the journal, and if two-thirds (2/3) of all the members-elect shall vote in the affirmative, the president shall certify the fact on the roll, and the bill thus certified shall be deposited with the proper officer, and shall become an ordinance in the same manner and with like effect as if it had received the approval of the Mayor. The Mayor shall have power to sign or veto any ordinance passed by the City Council, and shall also possess the power to approve all or any portion of the general appropriation bill, or to veto any item or all of the same; provided, that should he/she neglect or refuse to sign any ordinance and return the same with his/her objections, in writing, at the next regular meeting of the Council, the same shall become a law without his/her signature.
B. 
Whenever the Mayor shall neglect or refuse to sign any ordinance, or to return the ordinance to the City Council with his/her objections, in writing, at its next regular meeting after the ordinance shall have been presented to him/her, and such ordinance shall become a law, such ordinance shall be authenticated as having become a law, by having endorsed thereon or attached thereto a certificate signed by the President of the Council in the following form:
This ordinance having been delivered to the Mayor for his/her approval on the __________ day of ____________________, _____, and not having been returned by him/her to the Council, at its next regular meeting, after it was delivered to him/her for his/her approval, the same became a law on the __________ day of ____________________, ______.
  President of the Council
[R.O. 2008 §110.280; Code 1968 §1-11; CC 1988 §2-61]
Every ordinance passed by the City Council and approved by the Mayor shall take effect and be in force immediately after such approval, unless it is otherwise expressly provided. Ordinances passed over the Mayor's veto, or otherwise becoming laws without his/her approval, shall take effect and be in force from and after the proper certificate of the presiding officer of the City Council shall have been made and signed as provided in Section 110.280.
[R.O. 2008 §110.290; Code 1968 §1-12; CC 1988 §2-62]
The original rolls of all ordinances and resolutions passed by the City Council shall be recorded, and thereafter filed in the office of the City Clerk. When the City Council shall order the publication of an ordinance, due proof of such publication, by the affidavit of the printer or publisher, shall be procured by the City Clerk and attached thereto or written and attested upon the face of the record of such ordinance.
