All projects or matters that fall within the purview of the duties of the board of commission, as herein specified, that may come before the city council of the city, shall be referred to the board of commission for investigation and report before any final action shall be taken thereon. However, if the board of commission shall fail to make an investigation and report on any matter or subject referred to it for a period of sixty (60) days, such failure shall be considered a refusal to approve the proposed plan or project, and the city council of the city may thereupon act upon such proposal, plan or project as though such matter had not been referred to the board of commission. (Ord. No. 214, 6/15/82)
