of police commissioners, board of fire commissioners, or board of water commissioners
where such boards have been established, shall be submitted to the mayor by the city
clerk or by the secretary of any such board within 3 business days after its final
passage or adoption and shall be duly certified to him by the city clerk and either
by the city council chairman, if originating from the city council, or by the secretary
of the originating board. If the mayor shall approve the same by affixing his signature thereto or shall fail
to act thereon within 10 days after the said ordinance or resolution has been submitted
to him, the said ordinance or resolution shall thereupon become effective as provided
by law or in accordance with its terms. If the mayor shall disapprove any ordinance or resolution submitted to him, he shall
transmit it together with a statement containing his objections to the city clerk. It shall be the duty of the city clerk, upon receiving any such ordinance or resolution
with objections from the mayor, to report the same to the city council at its next
regular meeting and where a resolution was adopted by a board, then also to advise
the secretary of such board. At such meeting the objections of the mayor shall be read in full and entered into
the minutes, and thereupon the city council may proceed to consider the mayor's objections
and vote thereon. Upon an affirmative vote of 2 / 3 of the number of members of the city council then in office and not disqualified
by law from voting thereon to approve the said ordinance or resolution notwithstanding
the veto of the mayor at the aforesaid meeting or at any subsequent meeting within
30 days from the date thereof, the same shall become effective as provided by law
or in accordance with its terms. Every ordinance or resolution shall be presented to the mayor as herein provided notwithstanding
the absence of any statutory reference to the mayor where the statute requires action
by the governing body, unless by the express terms of this act or of any law the mayor
is excluded from consideration thereof.
