83.500 Ordinances -- How passed -- Amendment -- Repeal -- Veto. (1) No ordinance shall embrace more than one (1) subject, and that subject shall be expressed in its title. (2) No ordinance shall be passed at the meeting of the board of aldermen at which it is introduced, nor shall it be passed at any succeeding meeting until it has been read in <br>full at that meeting and free discussion allowed thereon. Any ordinance may be <br>amended or repealed by another ordinance. (3) Every ordinance or resolution, except a resolution to adjourn, that has passed the board of aldermen shall immediately be presented to the mayor for his approval or <br>disapproval. The mayor may disapprove any item or items of an appropriation <br>measure; the parts approved shall be in force and the item or items disapproved <br>shall be void, unless repassed in the same manner required for passage of <br>ordinances over the mayor's veto. If the mayor approves the ordinance or resolution, <br>he shall sign it and it shall then be in force. If he disapproves the ordinance or <br>resolution, or any item of an appropriation measure, he shall return it, with his <br>objections, to the board of aldermen, which shall enter his objections in full upon its <br>journal and proceed at its next or at its second regular meeting thereafter to consider <br>it. If, after such reconsideration, two-thirds (2/3) of the members of the board of <br>aldermen agree to its passage, the ordinance shall be in force, but in such cases the <br>votes shall be taken by yeas and nays and recorded in the journal. (4) If the mayor does not sign an ordinance or resolution presented to him, and does not return it on or before the day on which the board of aldermen holds its regular <br>meeting next after the meeting at which the ordinance or resolution was passed, and <br>three (3) days have intervened between the presentation to the mayor and the <br>meeting, the ordinance or resolution shall be in force as if he had signed it. History: Created 1972 Ky. Acts ch. 243, sec. 10.
