The petition for the adop- tion of any ordinance shall consist of the ordinance, together with all the signature papers and af- fidavits thereto attached. Such petition shall not be complete un- less signed by a number of regis- tered voters equal to at least five per cent (5%) of the total number of registered voters at the time of the last regular municipal general election.

Each signature paper shall be in substantially the following form: Section 5.05. FILING OF PETI- TION AND ACTION THEREON. All the signature papers shall be filed in the office of the City Clerk as one instrument. Within five (5) days af- ter the filing of the petition, the City Clerk shall ascertain by examina- tion, the number of registered vot- ers whose signatures are append- ed thereto and whether this number is at least five per cent (5%) of the total number of registered voters at the time of the last regular munici- pal gggggl election. If the Clerk finds the petition in- sufficient or irregular, the Clerk shall at once notify one or more of the Committee of sponsors of that fact, Certifying the reasons for such find- ing. The committee shall then be given thirty (30) days in which to file additional signature papers and to correct the petition in all other par- ticulars. If at the end of that period the petition is found to be still insuf- ficient or irregular, the Clerk shall so notify each member of the commit- tee of that fact and file the petition as an official City record. The final finding of the insufficiency or irreg- ularity of a petition shall not preju- dice the filing of a new petition for the same purpose, nor shall it pre- vent the Council from referring the ordinance to the voters at the next regular gq-ggrI or special election. Section 5.06. ACTION OF COUNCIL ON PETITION. When the petition is found to be suffi- cient, the City Clerk shall so certify to the Council at its next regular meeting, stating the number of petitioners and the percentage of the total number of registered voters which they constitute, and the Council shall at once read the ordinance and refer it to an appro- priate committee, which may be a committee of the whole. The com- mittee or Council shall thereupon provide for public hearings upon the ordinance, after the holding of which the ordinance shall be finally acted upon by the Council not later than sixty-five (65) days after the date upon which it was submitted to the Council by the City Clerk, If the Council fails to pass the pro- posed ordinance, or passes it in a form different from that set forth in the petition and unsatisfactory to the petitioners, the proposed ordinance shall be submitted by the Council to a vote at the next regular municipal gffjjl election, but if the number of signers of the petition is equal to at least fifteen (15) per cent of the total number of registered voters at the time of the last regular municipal g ener al elec- tion, the Council shall call a special election upon the measure. Such special election shall be held not less than thirty (30) nor more than forty-five (45) days from the date of final action on the ordinance by the Council or after the expiration of sixty-five (65) days from the date of submission to the Council when there has been no final action; but if a regular g eneral election is to occur within three (3) months, the Council may submit the ordinance at that election. If the Council passes the proposed ordinance with amendments and at least four-fifths (4/5) of the committee of petitioners do not express their dissatisfaction with such amended form by a statement filed with the City Clerk within ten (10) days of the passage thereof by the Council, the ordinance need not be submit- ted to the voters. Section 5.10. THE REFEREN- D UM. If prior to the date when an ordinance takes effect a petition signed by qualified registered vot- ers of the City equal in number to ten (10) per cent of the total number of registered voters at the time of the last 'egtilar municipal general election is filed with the City Clerk requesting that any such ordinance be repealed or submitted to a vote of the registered voters, the ordi- nance shall thereby be prevented from going into operation. The Council shall thereupon reconsider the ordinance at its next regular meeting, and by a majority vote ei- ther repeal or affirm the ordinance as passed. If the ordinance is af- firmed, the Council shall immedi- ately order a special election to be held thereon, or submit the ordi- nance at the next regular municipal general election, pending which the ordinance shall remain suspended. If a majority of the voters voting on the ordinance is opposed to the or- dinance, it shall not become effec- tive; but if a majority of the voters favor the ordinance, it shall go into effect immediately or on the date therein specified. Section 5. Effective Date. This ordinance shall be effective after adoption and ninety (90) days fol- lowing its legal publication. Adopted this day of, 2016.
