ARTICLE VI.
EMERGENCY WATER CONSERVATION RESPONSE*
EMERGENCY WATER CONSERVATION RESPONSE*
__________
* Editors Note: By Ordinance 8564, the mayor and council called a special election for November 7, 1995, at which public initiative petition 1994-1001 would be submitted to the city's qualified electors. By Ordinance 8574, the mayor and council approved the ballot label for that special election, which included the full text of the proposed Code amendment presented in the initiative petition. The proposed initiative was approved by the electorate and is now part of the Tucson Code.
The initiative as passed was denominated article VI of chapter 27 of the Tucson Code, containing sections 27-90 through 27-93. However, chapter 27 of the Tucson Code already contained an article VI (entitled "Emergency Water Conservation Response") consisting of sections 27-90--27-99. The existing article VI was enacted subsequent to the filing of the blank version of public initiative petition 1994-1001 but prior to its approval by the voters.
