against a city or village, or (2) which provide for the expenditure or
appropriation of its money, or (3) to sell any city, village or school
property, and all ordinances, passed by the council or board shall be
deposited with the city or village clerk. If the mayor approves of them, he
shall sign them. Those of which he disapproves he shall return to the
council or board, with his written objections, at the next regular meeting
of the council or board occurring not less than 5 days after their passage.
The mayor or president may disapprove of any one or more sums appropriated
in any ordinance, resolution, or motion making an appropriation, and, if
so, the remainder shall be effective. However, the mayor or president may
disapprove entirely of an ordinance, resolution, or motion making an
appropriation. If the mayor or president fails to return any ordinance or
any specified resolution or motion with his written objections, within the
designated time, it shall become effective despite the absence of his
signature.
