Council may, after five and within thirty days after the bill has been so returned, reconsider the <br /> vote upon the bill. If the bill, upon such reconsideration, is again passed by the affirmative vote <br /> of two-thirds of the entire membership, the Chairperson shall verify that fact on the face of the <br /> bill and such bill shall become effective as an ordinance with like effect as if approved by the <br /> Mayor. A bill failing to pass upon such reconsideration shall be deemed lost. <br /> If any appropriation bill is presented to the Mayor, the Mayor may veto any item or <br /> portion thereof by striking out or reducing the same. The Mayor shall append any objections and <br /> the reasons therefore to the bill at the time of signing, and the item or portion thereof so vetoed <br /> shall not take effect unless the Council shall reconsider the vote on the bill and, upon such <br /> reconsideration, the bill is again passed by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the entire <br /> membership. <br /> In the case of the annual operating budget, the Mayor shall return the bill to the Clerk <br /> within ten(10) calendar days of receipt of the bill.
