All ordinances and resolutions shall be drafted by or receive
the approval of the Township Attorney as to form and legality, and
the Township Attorney shall prepare ordinances and resolutions as
the Council, Mayor, Township Administrator or Municipal Clerk may
request.
Any Council person may introduce a resolution or ordinance.
No ordinance, other than the local budget ordinance, shall take
effect less than 20 days after its final passage by Council and approval
by the Mayor (unless Council overrides the Mayor's veto), unless the
Council shall adopt a resolution declaring an emergency and at least
2/3 of the Council vote in favor of such resolution. Nothing herein
shall affect the provisions of the local bond law with respect to
the effective date of ordinances passed pursuant thereto.
Whenever an ordinance has been vetoed by the Mayor and is passed
by the Council over such veto in the manner provided by law, the 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 _____ day of __________, 20____, and was vetoed by the
Mayor by his/her action whereby (s)he returned the said ordinance
to the Council by delivering it to the Municipal Clerk together with
a statement setting forth his/her objections thereto and thereafter
on the _____ day of __________, 20____, the Council did by a vote
of 2/3 of the members thereof, resolve to override the Mayor's veto.
Signed, Municipal Clerk"

Whenever an ordinance shall take effect without the Mayor's
signature by reason of his/her failure to return it to the Council
by filing it with the Clerk within 10 days after it has been presented
to him/her, the 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 __________ 20____, and, upon failure to
sign it or return and file it with the Clerk within 10 days thereafter,
said ordinance took effect in like manner as if the Mayor had signed
it.
