The Council may, by affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of its members, submit any proposed amendment to the Charter to the electors; or, upon receipt of a petition signed by not less than ten percent (10%) of the registered electors of the City setting forth any proposed amendment to the Charter, it shall submit such proposed amendment to the electors. The Council shall determine the manner of the submission of any proposed amendment to the electors to the extent that such submission is not governed by the Constitution and the Laws of Ohio. If any such proposed amendment shall be approved by a majority of the electors voting thereon, it shall become a part of this Charter; except that if two or more inconsistent proposed amendments on the same subject shall be 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 the Charter.
Within one month after the regular general election to be held in the year 1990, and within thirty (30) days after the regular general election to be held each eighth year thereafter, the Mayor shall appoint five (5) members and the Council shall appoint four (4) members to a commission of nine (9) qualified electors of the City of Euclid to be known as a Charter Commission. Should a vacancy occur, the Mayor should appoint a replacement member if vacancy was from the Mayoral appointees. Council shall follow the same procedure in appointment of replacements. Vacancies should be filled within thirty (30) days of notice of resignation or vacancy. Should a vacant position remain unfilled or initial appointments not made within the timelines contained in this section, then the vacancy shall be filled by appointment by the other appointing authority.
Said Commissioners shall serve a term not to exceed two (2) years beginning on the date of appointment, or until two-thirds of the members of the Commission vote to adjourn sine die. Such Commission shall review and recommend to the Council of the City any alterations, revisions, and amendments to this Charter as in its judgment seem desirable. The Council shall submit to the electors any such proposed alterations, revisions, or amendments to the Charter, in a manner provided in Section 1 of this Article.
