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 ____________________, ______.

[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.
[R.O. 2008 §110.300; Code 1968 §1-13; CC 1988 §2-63]
Whenever any ordinance or part of an ordinance shall be repealed
or modified, either expressly or by implication, by a subsequent ordinance,
the ordinance or part of an ordinance thus repealed or modified shall
continue in force until the ordinance repealing or modifying the same
shall go into effect, unless therein otherwise expressly provided.
