An initiative, referendum or recall petition may be amended at any time within ten business days after the making of a certificate of insufficiency by the city clerk, by filing a supplementary petition upon additional papers signed, attested and filed as provided in case of an original petition. The city clerk shall, within five days after such an amendment is filed, make examination of the amended petition and, if his certificate shall show the petition still to be insufficient, he shall file it in his office and notify the committee of the petitioners of his findings and no further action shall be had on such insufficient petition. The finding of the insufficiency of a petition shall not prejudice the filing of a new petition for the same purpose.
