a written statement of its defects, to the sponsoring committee and to the City Council. The <br /> committee shall have 30 calender days in which to file additional signature papers and/or to <br /> correct the specified irregularity. Within five working days of receipt of the corrected petition, the <br /> Clerk-Administrator shall determine the sufficiency of the petition as corrected and proceed as <br /> directed in Section 5.03. If the petition is still insufficient or irregular, this shall be considered the <br /> Final Finding and the Clerk-Administrator shall file the petition as noted and immediately notify <br /> the sponsoring committee that no further action will be taken. The final finding that the petition is <br /> insufficient or irregular shall not prejudice the filing of a new petition for the same purpose. <br /> Except in the case of a petition for recall, it shall not prevent the Council from referring the subject <br /> matter of the petition to the voters at the next regular or special election. <br /> Section 5.05. Initiative. Any ordinance may be proposed by a petition. The exact text of <br /> the proposed ordinance must be stated at the head of each page of the petition. The Council <br /> must act upon the proposed ordinance within 60 calendar days after final determination of the <br /> petition's sufficiency under the provisions of Section 5.03 of this chapter. The Council may <br /> amend the proposed ordinance and must provide such amendments to the petition committee. A <br /> majority of the sponsoring committee of the petition may disapprove the amended form by filing a <br /> statement with the Clerk-Administrator within 14 calendar days of the receipt of the amended <br /> ordinance. If the sponsoring committee does not file disapproval, the ordinance is not required to <br /> be submitted to the voters for enactment. Upon filing a statement of disapproval, the proposed <br /> ordinance, as stated on the original petition, must be placed on the ballot at the next election <br /> occurring in the City. If there is no regularly scheduled election within 120 calendar days of the <br /> determination of sufficiency or if the calendar date prohibits compliance with provisions in <br /> Chapter 4 of this Charter, at or before its next regularly scheduled meeting, the Council shall call <br /> a special election to take place within 90 calendar days of said meeting. If the ordinance <br /> receives a majority vote in its favor, it shall become effective 30 calendar days after adoption <br /> unless the ordinance specifies a later effective date. <br /> Section 5.06. Initiative to Amend the Charter. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed <br /> as in any way affecting the right of the voters to propose amendments to this charter. <br /> Section 5.07. Referendum. Prior to the date when an ordinance takes effect, it may be <br /> subjected to a referendum by a petition which shall state at the head of each page the exact text <br /> of the measure to be considered by the voters. If the petition is found to be sufficient under the <br /> provisions of Section 5.03 of this chapter, said ordinance shall thereby be prevented from <br /> enactment, and the subject matter of the petition shall be placed on the ballot at the next election <br /> occurring in the City. If there is no regularly scheduled election within 120 calendar days of the <br /> determination of sufficiency or if the calendar date prohibits compliance with provisions in <br /> Chapter 4 of this Charter, upon declaration of sufficiency, the Council shall immediately call a <br /> special election to take place within 90 calendar days of said meeting. If a majority of the voters <br /> voting thereon favors the ordinance contained in the petition, it shall remain in effect. If a majority <br /> vote against the ordinance contained in the petition, it shall be considered repealed upon <br /> certification of the election results. <br />
