RA 4776 Section 10

Section 10

SEC. 10. The first paragraph, Section fourteen of the same Act is amended to read as follows: "SEC. 14. Legislative Procedure.—The Board shall hold two ordinary sessions for the transaction of business during each week on days which it shall fix by resolutions, and such extraordinary sessions, as may be called by the Mayor. It shall sit with open doors unless otherwise ordered by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the members shall keep a record of all its proceedings and determine its rules of procedure not herein set forth, as well as deter-mine its officers except the presiding officer, the number thereof and the method of their election and their terms of office. A majority of all the members of the Board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, but a smaller number may adjourn from day to day and may compel the immediate attendance of any member who is absent without good cause by issuing to the police of the city an order for his arrest and production at the session under such penalties as shall have previously prescribed by ordinance. The affirmative vote of a majority of all the members shall be necessary for the passage of any ordinance, or of any resolution or motion directing the payment of money or creating liability, but other measures shall prevail upon the majority vote of the members present at any session duly called and held. The ayes and nays shall be taken and recorded upon the passage of all ordinances, upon all resolutions or mo­tions directing the payment of money or creating liability, and, at the request of any member, upon any other resolution or motion. Each approved ordinance, resolution or motion shall be sealed with the seal of the Municipal Board, and recorded in a book kept for the purpose and shall, on the day following its passage, be posted by the secretary at the main entrance of the city hall and in at least two other public places, and shall take effect and be in force on and after the tenth day following its passage, unless otherwise stated in said ordinance, resolution or motion or vetoed by the Mayor as hereinafter provided. A vetoed ordinance, if re-passed, shall take effect ten days after the veto is overridden by the required votes, unless otherwise stated in the ordinance, resolution or motion or again disapproved by the Mayor."
