§ 6.8. Veto of council action.  


Latest version.
  • No ordinance or resolution of the council, except a resolution disapproving an appointment of the mayor, shall have any force or effect if, within ninety-six hours after the adoption thereof, the mayor, or the mayor pro-tem when acting in his stead, shall file in the office of the clerk a notice, in writing, suspending the operation of such ordinance or resolution and setting forth his reasons therefor. In each case where the mayor shall file such notice, such ordinance, or resolution shall not go into effect, unless the council shall, at one of the next two regular meetings of the council thereafter vote to adopt such ordinance or resolution by the affirmative vote of not less than six of its members. If any such ordinance or resolution shall be passed, it shall become effective according to the terms thereof as originally adopted, except that it shall not be effective prior to ten days after the time of its last adoption as required herein.
