• Section 13: Change to Section 3.4 Section 3.4 of the City Charter, which reads as follows: Ordinances-Styles-Requisites-Veto. All legislation and appropriations of money shall be by ordinance, save where there is a special fund for a particular purpose; payments from such fund shall be made on order of the council. The subject of every ordinance shall be set out clearly in the title thereof, and no ordinance except one making appropriations shall contain more than one subject. Ordinances making appropriations shall be confined to the subject of appropriations. The enacting clause of all ordinances shall be in the words "The City of Everett does ordain". No ordinance or any section or subsection thereof shall be revised or amended unless the new ordinance sets forth the revised ordinance or the amended section or subsection at full length. Every ordinance, other than emergency ordinances, shall have three (3) public readings, not more than two of which shall be on the same day, and at least one week shall elapse between the introduction and the final passage, except as otherwise provided in this charter. Every ordinance and resolution shall be in writing and read in full at a council meeting before a vote is taken thereon, and upon every such vote the ayes and nays shall be called and recorded. Every ordinance which passes the council in order to become valid must be presented to the mayor; if he approves it, he shall sign it and the ordinance shall become valid, but if not, he shall return it with his written objections to the council and the council shall cause his objections to be entered at large upon the journal and proceed to a reconsideration thereof. If upon reconsideration a majority plus one of the whole membership, voting upon a call of ayes and nays, favor its passage, the ordinance shall become valid notwithstanding the mayor's veto. If the mayor fails for ten (10) days to either approve or veto an ordinance, it shall become valid without his approval. The mayor's veto with respect to budget measures shall extend to specific items only, and not to the whole budget. Ordinances shall be signed by the mayor or mayor pro tempore, and attested by the clerk. Ordinances, unless otherwise provided in this charter, shall be published once in the city official newspaper, within ten(10) days after its becoming valid. CHARTER AMENDMENT ORDINANCE Page M
