All ordinances shall be submitted, in writing, at
a meeting of the Council and passed at a subsequent meeting; provided,
however, that no ordinance shall be finally passed, no officer appointed
or removed and no salary fixed except by the vote of the majority
of the members of the Council present at the meeting, provided that
at least three affirmative votes shall be required for such purpose,
the Mayor voting only in the case of a tie. Every ordinance passed
by the Council and every resolution appropriating or in any way tending
to pecuniarily obligate the Borough and also resolutions auditing
or directing the payment of bills or demands, together with such bills,
shall, within five days after the passage thereof (Sundays excepted),
be presented to the Mayor, and the report of the Clerk shall be conclusive
evidence that such ordinance or resolution has been so presented;
if the Mayor approves it, the Mayor shall, within 10 days (Sundays
excepted) after its receipt, sign and file it with the Borough Clerk,
and if not, the Mayor shall, within the same time, return the same
to the Clerk with objections thereto, in writing, and the Council
shall at its next meeting cause the objections to be entered at length
on its minutes and proceed to reconsider the same. If 2/3 of
all the Council shall, at said meeting or at any subsequent meeting
to which it shall postpone its reconsideration, vote to pass the same
over said veto, it shall take effect upon the taking of such vote;
if such ordinance or resolution shall not be so returned by the Mayor
within 10 days (Sundays excepted) after received by the Mayor, it
shall take effect in like manner as if it had been signed, provided
that if any such ordinance, resolution or bill shall contain more
than one distinct section, clause or item, the Mayor may approve one
or more thereof and veto the rest. Every ordinance shall be recorded
in full by the Borough Clerk in a proper book kept for that purpose.
No ordinance may be finally passed unless it has been read in substantially
its final form at a meeting held at least one week prior to its final
passage and shall have been published in the official newspaper printed
and circulating in the Borough, and if there is no official newspaper
printed and circulated in the Borough, then in at least one newspaper
printed and circulated in Morris County. Such publication shall contain
a notice stating the time and place when and where the governing body
will consider the final passage thereof.
