REPUBLIC ACT NO. 4499 - AN ACT TO
AMEND THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF SECTION FOURTEEN OF REPUBLIC ACT NUMBERED
TWENTY-SIX HUNDRED SIXTY-EIGHT, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE CHARTER OF THE
CITY OF GINGOOG
Section 1. The first paragraph of Section fourteen of the
Charter of the City of Gingoog is hereby amended to read as follows:
"Sec. 14. Method of transacting business by the
Board. — Veto, authentication and publication of ordinances. — Unless
the Office of the President orders otherwise, the Board shall hold
three ordinary sessions for the transaction of business during each
week on days which it shall fix by resolution, and such extraordinary
sessions, not exceeding thirty during any one year, as may be called by
the Mayor. It shall sit with open doors, unless otherwise ordered by an
affirmative vote of four members. It shall keep a record of its
proceedings and determine its rules of procedure not herein set forth.
Four 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 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 been
previously prescribed by ordinance. Four affirmative votes shall be
necessary for the passage of any ordinance, or of any resolution or
motion directing the payment of money or creating liability, but any
other measure shall prevail upon the majority votes of the members
present at any meeting 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 Board, signed by the presiding officer and
the secretary of the Board and recorded in a book kept for that
purpose, and shall, on the day following its passage, be posted by the
secretary at the main entrance of the City Hall and 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 repassed, shall take effect ten days
after the veto is overridden by the required votes unless otherwise
stated in the ordinance or again disapproved by the Mayor within said
time.”
Sec. 2. This Act shall take effect upon its
approval.
Approved: June 19, 1965
