Within thirty (30) days after the enactment by Council, of any ordinance or other measure enacted by Council, except one which is not subject under this Charter or the laws of the State of Ohio to referendum, a petition signed by no less than ten percent (10%) of the total number of electors of the Municipality on the date of such filing, may be filed with the Council requesting the ordinance or other action be repealed, or submitted to a vote of the electors. A petition in such form may be circulated in separate parts but the separate parts shall be bound together and filed as one instrument. When said petition is filed the Clerk of the Council shall first ascertain the sufficiency of the petition, and, if found sufficient, the Council shall thereupon, within thirty (30) days of the filing of such petition reconsider such ordinance or resolution. If Council fails to repeal said ordinance or resolution within thirty (30) days after such reconsideration, the Council shall submit it to a vote of the electors at the next general or regular municipal election occurring more than ninety (90) days after the filing of such petition.
