The referendum committee must file the signature papers with the city clerk within 15 calendar days of its initial request. All the signature papers must be filed together in the office of the city clerk at the same time. Within ten business days after the petition is filed, the city clerk must determine if the petition is complete. If the city clerk finds the petition insufficient or irregular, the city clerk must notify at least one of the committee members of the insufficiency or irregularity, certifying the reasons for the finding. The referendum committee then has 15 calendar days to obtain and file additional signature papers and to correct the petition. If at the end of the 15 calendar-day period the petition is still insufficient or irregular, the city clerk must file it in the city clerk's office and notify each committee member.
