Any five electors may commence initiative or referendum proceedings by filing with the Clerk of Council an affidavit stating that they will constitute the petitioners' committee and be responsible for circulating the petition and filing it in proper form, stating their names and addresses, specifying the address to which all notices to the committee are to be sent, and setting out in full the proposed initiative ordinance or resolution or citing the ordinance or resolution sought to be reconsidered.
Promptly after the affidavit of the petitioners' committee is filed, the Clerk shall specify the appropriate petition forms that are to be used to the petitioners committee.
