Upon the city clerk's finding the petition is complete, the ordinance is suspended and the council must reconsider the ordinance at the next regular meeting after published notice of the reconsideration. The council must either repeal it or reaffirm it as originally adopted. If the council reaffirms the ordinance, it must order an election to be held at the next uniform election date established in Minnesota Statutes that is at least 75 calendar days from the date of council reaffirmation of the ordinance. The ordinance will remain suspended until the outcome of the election. If a majority of registered voters vote against the ordinance, it will not be effective; but if a majority of registered voters vote for the ordinance, it will be effective after the election results have been canvassed and the ordinance has been published, unless a later effective date is stated in the ordinance.
