Indiana Code 36-4-5-3. Powers and duties

Sec. 3. The executive shall:

(1) enforce the ordinances of the city and the statutes of the state;

in writing: include printing, lithographing, or other mode of representing words and letters. See Indiana Code 1-1-4-5
Veto: The procedure established under the Constitution by which the President/Governor refuses to approve a bill or joint resolution and thus prevents its enactment into law. A regular veto occurs when the President/Governor returns the legislation to the house in which it originated.

In Congress, the veto can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the House.
Year: means a calendar year, unless otherwise expressed. See Indiana Code 1-1-4-5

(2) provide a statement of the finances and general condition of the city to the city legislative body at least once a year;

(3) provide any information regarding city affairs that the legislative body requests;

(4) recommend, in writing, to the legislative body actions that the executive considers proper;

(5) call special meetings of the legislative body when necessary;

(6) supervise subordinate officers;

(7) insure efficient government of the city;

(8) fill vacancies in city offices when required by IC 3-13-8;

(9) sign all bonds, deeds, and contracts of the city and all licenses issued by the city; and
