  provided in subdivisions c, d and e of this section.
    (b)  A  draft  solid waste management plan for the city which is to be
  submitted  pursuant  to  article  twenty-seven  of   the   environmental
  conservation law shall be presented to the council at or before the time
  of  such  submission, but in no event later than the thirty-first day of

  The  council  shall,  not  later  than  the  thirty-first day of August,

  denies  the authority for the submission of a proposed final solid waste
  management plan for the city.
    (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision c of  this  section,
  in  the  event that on or before the tenth day of July, nineteen hundred

  for  the  submission of a proposed final solid waste management plan for
  the  city  pursuant  to  article  twenty-seven  of   the   environmental
  conservation  law and the mayor disapproves such law, such proposed plan
  shall not be submitted until either two-thirds of all the members of the
  council have voted whether to repass  such  local  law,  or  the  period
  within  which  such repassing may occur has expired, pursuant to section
  thirty-seven of the charter.  In  the  event  that  such  local  law  is
  repassed  by  a  two-thirds vote of all the members of the council, such
  proposed plan shall not be submitted.
    (e) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivisions a  and  c  of  this
  section,  in  the  event  the  council  does  not act in accordance with
  subdivision  c  of  this  section,  such  proposed  final  solid   waste
  management plan may be submitted pursuant to article twenty-seven of the
  environmental conservation law.
