neglects or refuses to sign an ordinance, he or she shall return the same to the Council with his or
her objections and veto in writing on or before the date of the next regular meeting of the Council

the same. If four members of the Council approve the ordinance, it shall become law
notwithstanding the Mayor's veto.

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.

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
