Section 5.07. Referendum. Prior to the date when an ordinance takes effect, it may be subjected to a referendum by a petition which shall state at the head of each page the exact text of the measure to be considered by the voters. If the petition is found to be sufficient under the provisions of Section 5.03 of this chapter, said ordinance shall thereby be prevented from enactment, and the subject matter of the petition shall be placed on the ballot at the next election occurring in the City. If there is no regularly scheduled election within 120 calendar days of the determination of sufficiency or if the calendar date prohibits compliance with provisions in Chapter 4 of this Charter, upon declaration of sufficiency, the Council shall immediately call a special election to take place within 90 calendar days of said meeting. If a majority of the voters voting thereon favors the ordinance contained in the petition, it shall remain in effect. If a majority vote against the ordinance contained in the petition, it shall be considered repealed upon certification of the election results. (Amended, Ord. 651, 8-
16-2000)
