An ordinance shall contain no subject which is not clearly expressed in its title and no ordinance or sections thereof shall be revised or amended unless the new ordinance contains the entire ordinance or sections as revised or amended, and the ordinance or section so revised or amended is repealed in its entirety. The passage or adoption of ordinances of a general and permanent nature shall be by roll call and the yeas and nays shall be recorded by the Clerk. To pass or adopt any ordinance, a concurrence of a majority of the Council shall be sufficient, unless a great number of votes is required by this Code or by state law. 1-10-3: PASSAGE: When any ordinance is passed, it shall forthwith be signed by the Mayor and attested by the Clerk, and the date of its passage by the Council shall be stated thereon.

If one-half plus one members of the full Council approve the ordinance, it shall become law notwithstanding the Mayor’s veto. 1-10-5: VETO CERTIFICATE: When any ordinance has been passed over the Mayor’s veto, the Clerk shall attach a certificate to the ordinance stating the same was vetoed by the mayor and that it received the required vote of the Council and the date of such action. 1-10-6: BECOMING LAW WITHOUT MAYOR’S SIGNATURE: If the Mayor refuses or neglects to sign any ordinance and fails to return the same to the Council in accordance with Section 1-10-4 above, it shall become effective without his signature. 1-10-7: CERTIFICATE: When any ordinance has become effective without the signature of the Mayor, the Clerk shall certify thereon that the Mayor has failed to sign or veto the ordinance, and that it has become effective without his signature. 1-10-8: PASSAGE DATE: An ordinance shall be considered passed on the date of its execution by the Mayor. In the case of passage pursuant to Section 1-10-4, the ordinance shall be deemed passed on the date of the regular meeting at which the ordinance was passed by the Council over the Mayor’s veto. In the case of passage pursuant to Section 1-10-6, the ordinance shall be deemed passed at the conclusion of the next regular meeting following the meeting at which it was originally passed by the Council. 1-10-9: PUBLICATION AND EFFECTIVE DATE: All ordinances shall become effective upon their publication in the Official Newspaper and proof of publication thereof is filed with the Clerk.

Such ordinances of a special nature, resolution, or order need not be published unless their publication be required by law.
