[Rev. Ord.
No. 53, § 1, 10-21-1912]
The enacting clause of ordinances of the City shall be as follows:
"Be it ordained by the City Council of the City of Lexington, as follows."
[Rev. Ord.
No. 53, § 2, 10-21-1912]
No ordinance shall be passed except by bill, and no bill shall
become an ordinance unless on its final passage a majority of the
members elected to the City Council shall vote therefor and the "ayes"
and "nays" shall be entered on the journal.
[RSMo. § 77.080]
All bills proposing to become ordinances shall be presented
in writing and enacted as follows:
1.
Bills shall be read in full two (2) times prior to passage, or bills
shall be read by title two (2) times prior to passage, both of which
may occur at a single meeting.
2.
Bills which are read by title only shall have been made available
for public inspection prior to their presentation to the Council.
3.
Amendments may be offered at any time before the final reading.
4.
After the second reading in full or by title, the question shall
be: "Shall the Bill pass?"
[Rev. Ord.
No. 6, § 20, 10-21-1912]
The title of every bill proposing to become an ordinance shall
indicate the purposes or objects sought to be accomplished thereby.
[Rev. Ord.
No. 53, § 3, 10-21-1912]
No bill shall become an ordinance until it has been signed by
the officer presiding at the meeting of the City Council at which
the same was passed. When so signed it shall be delivered when returned
to the Council with the approval of the Mayor endorsed thereon, such
bill shall become an ordinance.
[Rev. Ord.
No. 53, §§ 4,5, 10-21-1912]
A.
Whenever the Mayor shall refuse to sign any bill, and shall return
the same to the City Council with his objections thereto, such bill,
so returned, shall stand reconsidered, and the Council shall cause
the objections of the Mayor to be entered at large upon the journal
and shall proceed at its convenience to consider the question pending,
which shall be in this form: "Shall the bill pass, the objections
of the Mayor thereto notwithstanding?" The votes on this question
shall be taken by "ayes and nays," and the names of the Councilmen
voting shall be entered upon the journal. If two-thirds (2/3) of all
the members elected to the Council shall vote in the affirmative,
the President of the Council shall certify that fact on the roll,
and the bill thus certified shall be deposited with the City Clerk
and shall become an ordinance in the same manner and with like effect
as if it had received the approval of the Mayor.
B.
Should the Mayor neglect or refuse to sign any ordinance and return
the same with his objections in writing, at the next regular meeting
of the City Council the same shall become a law without his signature.
Said ordinance shall be authenticated and having become a law, by
having endorsed thereon or attached thereto a certificate form as
follows:
This ordinance having been delivered to the Mayor for his approval
on the __________ of __________ and not having been returned by him
to the City Council at its next regular meeting after it was delivered
to him for his approval, the same become a law on the __________ day
of __________.

regular meeting of the Council.
[Rev. Ord.
No. 53, § 7, 10-21-1912]
A.
No ordinance shall be revived or reordained by mere reference to
the title thereof, but the same shall be set forth at length as if
it were an original ordinance.
B.
When an ordinance repealing a former ordinance, clause or provision
is itself repealed, it shall not be construed to revive such former
ordinance, clause or provision.
[Rev. Ord.
No. 6, § 22, 10-21-1912]
When a bill is put upon its final passage, and failing to pass,
a motion is made to reconsider the vote by which it was defeated,
the vote upon such motion to reconsider shall be immediately taken,
and the subject finally disposed of before the City Council proceeds
to other business.
[Rev. Ord.
No. 53, § 8, 10-21-1912]

[Rev. Ord.
No. 53, § 9, 10-21-1912]
The original rolls of ordinances and resolutions passed by the
City Council shall be filed in the office of the City Clerk, and when

and attested upon the face of the record of such ordinances.
