Section 5.03 Referral by Council to the Electors.
   By a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the members elected to the Council, any pending ordinance or resolution may be referred to the electors of the City at a general, primary or special election. The action of referral shall be taken by resolution, and such resolution shall be passed not less than sixty (60) days prior to the date of the primary or general election at which such referral ordinance or resolution is to be submitted. In the event that such ordinance or resolution is to be referred for approval or rejection at a special election, the Council shall fix a date for such special election at a date not less than sixty (60) days after the date of the passage of the resolution to refer, and the Clerk of Council shall cause notice of the special election to be published on the same day of each week for two consecutive weeks in a newspaper determined by Council to be in circulation in the City. At such primary, general or special election, this question shall be placed upon the ballot: "Shall an (ordinance or resolution) providing: (the wording contained in the title of the proposed ordinance or resolution shall be inserted here) be adopted?"; with the provision on the ballot for voting affirmatively or negatively. In the event a majority of those voting on the issue shall be in the affirmative, the ordinance or resolution shall go into immediate effect, without the need for further publication.
