| Wyoming Statutes 15-1-108. Powers and duties of mayor; appointment of mayor pro tem. (a) Unless otherwise provided by statute, the mayor shall: (i) Preside at all meetings of the governing body, and in his absence a councilman shall be appointed to act as mayor pro tem; (ii) Have superintending control of all officers and affairs of the city or town; (iii) Take care that the ordinances and laws are complied with; (iv) Administer oaths; (v) Sign commissions and appointments and all bonds, contracts and other obligations required to be signed in the name of the city or town; and (vi) Have one (1) vote on all matters coming before the governing body upon which a vote is taken, except a vote: (A) To override a veto; (B) To confirm an appointment other than a vote to break a tie vote of the governing body; and (C) Pursuant to a hearing for removal or discharge as provided in W.S. 15-2-102(b)(iv)(C) or 15-3-204(b)(iv)(C). 15-3-201. Mayoral veto; overriding thereof; failure to act. The mayor is entitled to sign or veto any ordinance passed by the governing body and to sign or veto any order, bylaw, resolution, award or vote to enter into any contract, or the allowance of any claim. A veto may be overridden by a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of all the qualified members of the council. If the mayor neglects or refuses to sign any ordinance and fails to return it with his objections in writing at the next regular meeting of the governing body, it becomes law without his signature. The mayor may veto any item of any appropriation ordinance and approve the remainder thereof. The items vetoed may be passed over the veto as in other cases. The mayor does not have a vote in any matter involving the override of a veto. * * *
