(a) In the event the mayor disapproves any ordinance, order, or resolution requiring mayoral approval, such ordinance, order, or resolution shall not become law unless at the next properly convened meeting or special meeting held at least ten days following presentation of the ordinance, order, or resolution to the mayor, the council again passes the ordinance, order, or resolution by two-thirds vote of all members of the council.
(b) Further, in conformance with Indiana Code 36-7-4-609 “Vote Required for Legislative Action,” as amended, each zoning ordinance adopted by the city under Indiana Code 36-7-4-606, 36-7-4-607, or 36-7-4-608 may be vetoed by the executive of the city. The executive must exercise the veto:
(1) In a case in which the legislative body adopted (as certified) the proposal, within ten days after the legislative body acts;
(2) In a case in which the legislative body amends the proposal and the plan commission approves the amendment or fails to act, within fifty-five days after the proposal is returned to the plan commission for its consideration;
(3) In a case in which the legislative body amends the proposal and confirms its original amendment by another vote, within ten days after the legislative body confirms its original amendment; or
(4) In a case in which the proposal is to take effect because of the legislative body's failure to act within a period of days, within ten days after the expiration of that period.
(c) If a city zoning ordinance is not vetoed under subsection (b), it takes effect without any action being taken by the executive of the city.
(d) If a city zoning ordinance is vetoed under subsection (b), it is defeated unless the city legislative body, at its first regular or special meeting after receiving the veto message, passes the ordinance over the veto by a two-thirds vote.
