A. 
All ordinances shall be prepared by the Township Attorney upon direction of the Council or the Mayor. Prior to introduction, each proposed ordinance or resolution requiring or permitting administrative action may be submitted to the Administrator and the department head concerned, each of whom shall submit to the Council an opinion as to the administrative implications of the proposed ordinance or resolution.
B. 
An ordinance or resolution may be introduced by any member of the Council. Each ordinance and resolution shall be limited to a single subject, which shall be expressed in its title.
C. 
All ordinances shall be introduced, read, heard and enacted in the manner provided by general law. Each ordinance passed by the Council shall be promptly delivered by the Municipal Clerk to the Mayor and he shall, within 10 days after receiving any ordinance, either approve the ordinance by affixing his signature thereto or return it to the Council by delivering it to the Municipal Clerk, together with a statement setting forth his objections thereto or to any item or part thereof. No ordinance or any item or part thereof shall take effect without the Mayor's approval, unless the Mayor fails to return an ordinance to the Council within 10 days after it has been presented to him, or unless the Council, upon reconsideration thereof on or after the third day following its return by the Mayor, shall, by a vote of 2/3 of the members, resolve to override the Mayor's veto.
D. 
No ordinance other than the local budget ordinance shall take effect less than 20 days after its final passage by the Council and approval by the Mayor where such approval is required, unless the Council shall adopt a resolution declaring an emergency and at least 2/3 of all members of the Council vote in favor of such resolution.
E. 
All ordinances and resolutions shall be consecutively numbered and recorded by the Municipal Clerk. At the close of each year, with the advice and assistance of the Township Attorney, the Municipal Clerk shall bind, compile or codify all the ordinances and resolutions, or true copies thereof, of the municipality which then remain in force and effect. He shall also properly index the record books, compilation or codification of ordinances and resolutions.
Whenever an ordinance has been reconsidered by the Council following a veto by the Mayor, the Municipal Clerk shall append to such ordinance a certification of the action of the Council upon such reconsideration in substantially the following form:
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the above ordinance adopted by the Council on the _____ day of _____ was delivered to the Mayor on the _____ day of _____, _____ and was returned to me on the _____ day of _____, _____, together with the Mayor's statement of the reasons for which he was constrained to withhold his approval of such ordinance, item or part thereof. On reconsideration thereof on the _____ day of _____, _____, (the Council duly resolved by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of its members to enact such ordinance, item or part thereof notwithstanding the Mayor's veto.) or (the Mayor's veto was sustained.)
Clerk
Whenever an ordinance shall take effect without the Mayor's signature by reason of his failure to return it to the Council by filing it with the Municipal Clerk within 10 days after it has been presented to him, the Municipal Clerk shall append to such ordinance a certificate in substantially the following form:
I HEREBY CERTIFY that the above ordinance was adopted by the Council on the _____ day of _____, _____, and was presented to the Mayor duly certified on the _____ day of _____, _____, and upon his failure to sign it or return and file it with the Clerk within 10 days thereafter, the said ordinance took effect in like manner as if the Mayor had signed it.
