A.
The style of the ordinances of the City
shall be: "Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Park Hills,
as follows:"
B.
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 "yeas" and "nays" shall be entered on the journal. Every proposed
ordinance shall be introduced to the Council in writing and shall
be read by title or in full two (2) times prior to passages, both
readings may occur at a single meeting of the Council. If the proposed
ordinance is read by title only, copies of the proposed ordinance
shall be made available for public inspection prior to the time the
bill is under consideration by the Council. No bill shall become an

at the meeting of the Council at which it shall have been passed.
When so signed, it shall be delivered to the mayor for his/her approval
and signature or his/her veto.
C.
All ordinances passed shall take effect
and be enforced from and after the date of their passage and approval,

[R.O. 2016 § 113.260; Ord. No. 72-95 § D(1.725), 7-11-1995]
Every bill presented to the Mayor and returned to the Council
with the approval of the Mayor shall become an ordinance, and every
bill presented as aforesaid, but returned with his/her objections
thereto, shall stand reconsidered. The Council shall cause the objections
of the Mayor to be entered at large upon the journal, and 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 "yeas"
and "nays" and the names entered upon the journal, and if two-thirds
(2/3) of all the members-elect shall vote in the affirmative, the
President shall certify the fact on the roll, and the bill thus certified
shall be deposited with the proper officer, and shall become an ordinance
in the same manner and with like effect as if it had received the
approval of the Mayor. The Mayor shall have power to sign or veto
any ordinance passed by the City Council, and shall also possess the
power to approve all or any portion of the general appropriation bill,
or to veto any item or all of the same, provided that should he/she
neglect or refuse to sign any ordinance and return the same with his/her
objections, in writing, at the next regular meeting of the Council,
the same shall become a law without his/her signature.
