Sec. 4.189. Employment of Personnel by Council Resolution Subject to Veto Power of Mayor.¶
Whenever requested by the appointing authority of the Fire Department or Police Department, the Council, by order or resolution, may grant authority for:
(a) The employment of personnel in cases where no department personnel authority exists provided that the class of position in which such employment is to be made is contained in Section 4.158 of this chapter, provided, however that any such order or resolution may, by its terms be made to take effect at the beginning of the next ensuing fiscal year from its adoption, but in no event shall such order or resolution be effective for any purpose beyond the end of this said ensuing fiscal year.
(b) The filling of any position in conformity with the provisions of any department personnel ordinance or any amendment thereto pending the effective date of such ordinance or amendment, provided that such position is included in one of the classes of positions contained in Section 4.158 of this chapter.
Such employment authorization shall, before it becomes effective, be presented to the Mayor for the Mayor’s approval and the Mayor’s signature if the Mayor approves it; if not, the Mayor shall endorse thereon the date of presentation to the Mayor and shall return it to the Council with the Mayor’s objections in writing. The Council, at its first meeting after the return of such employment authorization and objections, shall proceed to reconsider its adoption. Upon such reconsideration it shall in all cases require the votes of two-thirds (2/3rds) of the whole Council to pass such employment authorization over the veto of the Mayor. If any such employment authorization shall not be returned to the Council by the Mayor with the Mayor’s objections in writing within ten (10) days after it shall have been presented to the Mayor, it shall become effective and be valid, as if the Mayor had approved and signed it.
