Amendments to this Charter may be submitted to the electors of the City by the affirmative vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the members elected or appointed to Council, and shall be submitted to the electors of the City by the Council when a petition signed by not less than ten percent (10%) of the electors of the City, based upon the total vote cast at the last preceding general municipal election, setting forth any such proposed amendment shall have been filed with the City in accordance, in each case, with the provisions of the Ohio Constitution. The amendment shall be submitted to the electors at the next regular primary or general election, if one shall occur not less than sixty (60) days, nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days after its passage or filing; otherwise the Council shall provide for the submission of the amendment at a special election to be called and held within the time aforesaid.
If any such proposed amendment be approved by a majority of the electors voting thereon, it shall become a part of this Charter at the time fixed in the amendment or, if no time is fixed therein, upon its approval by the electors; provided, however, that in the event that two or more inconsistent amendments on the same subject are 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 this Charter.
