The mayor shall have the power to veto legislation within forty-eight (48) hours after
the adjournment of any city commission meeting. Ordinances or resolutions vetoed by
the mayor shall be considered by the city commission at its next regularly scheduled
meeting, and at that meeting the city commission may pass the ordinance or resolution
over the mayor's veto by four votes of the commission. The effective date of an ordinance
passed over the mayor's veto shall not be less than fifteen (15) days after the final
passage, which shall be considered to be the date on which the city commission originally
passed the ordinance or resolution and it shall then become law.
Within forty-eight (48) hours of the adoption of an ordinance or resolution appropriating
money for the use of city government, the mayor may disapprove all or a portion of
an appropriation. Any appropriations disapproved or reduced shall be void to such
disapproval or reduction unless restored to the ordinance or resolution by four votes
of the city commission at its next regularly scheduled meeting.
The mayor shall not have the power to veto emergency ordinances or any enactments
relating to emergency appropriations or emergency borrowing.
