No ordinance imposing a penalty may be enforced until it has been published in one (1) issue of the official weekly newspaper. Ordinances not required to be published shall take effect from their date of passage, unless otherwise provided.

(1987 Code, ch. 1, sec. 19(E))
Every ordinance or resolution passed by the city council must be filed with the city secretary. Thereupon, the mayor may either sign or refuse to sign the ordinance or resolution. If the mayor refuses to sign the ordinance or resolution, his or her objections must be set forth in writing and submitted to the city secretary within three (3) days of the time the ordinance or resolution was filed. (If the mayor’s statement of objections is not filed within three (3) days, the ordinance or resolution automatically goes into effect without his or her signature.) If the mayor timely files a statement of objections to the ordinance or resolution, it is killed unless a majority of the whole number of councilmembers (not just a majority of those present and voting) votes to override the mayor’s veto by adopting the ordinance or resolution at a subsequent council meeting as originally proposed, with the vote of each councilmember entered in the minutes of the meeting at which the vote was taken.
