Amendments to this Charter may be submitted to the electors of the City by a vote of five members of the Council, and shall be submitted by the Council when a petition signed by not less than ten percent of the total number of electors as shown by those registered at the last general or municipal election, setting forth any such proposed amendment shall have been filed in the manner and form prescribed herein for the submission of ordinances by initiative petition. The amendment shall be submitted to the electors at the next regular primary or general election, if one shall occur not less than sixty (60) days, nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days after its passage or filing; otherwise the Council shall provide for the submission of the amendment at a special election to be called and held within the time aforesaid.
If any such proposed amendment be approved by a majority of the electors voting thereon, it shall become a part of this Charter at the time fixed in the amendment; and if no time is fixed therein, then such amendment shall become a part of this Charter upon its approval by the electors; provided, however, that in the event that two or more inconsistent amendments on the same subject are submitted at the same election, only the one of such amendments receiving the largest affirmative vote, not less than a majority, shall become a part of this Charter.
