§ 711. Election.  


Latest version.
  • The petition, and any supplementary petition, shall be examined by the City Clerk and if found sufficient by the Clerk, the Clerk shall certify that fact to the Council at its next regular meeting and the ordinance or part thereof shall not go into effect unless approved by the electors as hereinafter provided. Upon receipt of the Clerk's certificate, the Council shall proceed to reconsider the ordinance or part thereof and its final vote upon such reconsideration shall be upon the question "Shall the ordinance (or part of the ordinance) specified in the referendum petition be repealed?" If, upon such reconsideration by the Council, such ordinance, or such part thereof, be not repealed, it shall be submitted to the electors at the next available municipal or state election held, not less than thirty (30) days after such final vote by the council for which the City can lawfully provide required notices to the election authorities without seeking a court order. If, when submitted to the electors, any such ordinance, or such part thereof, be not approved by a majority of those voting thereon, it shall be deemed repealed.
