The enacting clause of all ordinances shall be as follows: ‘Be it ordained by the common council of the city or town (as the case may be) of______.’ Every ordinance shall be signed by the mayor, or passed over the veto of the mayor, and attested by the recorder. A copy of the ordinance shall be published at least once in a newspaper published in such city; or, in lieu of such publication, three copies thereof shall be posted in at least three public places therein before it becomes a law.

Terms Used In Oregon Statutes 221.912

  • City: includes any incorporated village or town. See Oregon Statutes 174.100
  • 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. The President/Governor usually returns a vetoed bill with a message indicating his reasons for rejecting the measure. In Congress, the veto can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the House.
