People have asked me about the possibility of the Mayor vetoing the ordinance once it has been passed. The city does give the Mayor the power of veto, it is covered in section 15.02 of the city code and reads as follows:
15.02 POWERS AND DUTIES. The powers and duties of the Mayor are as follows:
- 4. Mayor’s Veto. Sign, veto or take no action on an ordinance, amendment or resolution passed by the Council. The Mayor may veto an ordinance, amendment or resolution within fourteen days after passage. The Mayor shall explain the reasons for the veto in a written message to the Council at the time of the veto.
(Code of Iowa, Sec. 380.5 & 380.6[2])
The city code is available on-line at cityofatlantic.com
