Any five qualified voters may commence initiative or referendum proceedings by filing with the City Clerk-Treasurer an affidavit stating they will constitute the Petitioner's Committee and be responsible for circulating the petition and filing it in proper form, stating their names and addresses, and specifying the address to which all notices to the committee are to be sent, and setting out in full the proposed initiative ordinance or citing the ordinance sought to be considered.
Promptly after the affidavit of the Petitioner's Committee is filed the City Clerk-Treasurer shall issue the appropriate petition blanks to the Petitioner's Committee.
