The council shall by ordinance prescribe procedures to govern the initiation, adoption,
and repeal of ordinances by the electorate, and the council shall authorize an initiative
or referendum election on petition of at least 15 percent of the registered voters
qualified to vote in the preceding general municipal election.
(b)
The council shall be authorized to submit to the qualified voters of the city at any
election not called only for the purpose of putting said ordinance or resolution before
the voters any ordinance or resolution which it may deem proper; and in the event
a majority of voters shall vote for this ordinance or resolution, it shall be adopted.
If a majority of the votes so cast are against the resolution or ordinance, it shall
be defeated and shall not thereafter be adopted by the council until resubmitted to
and adopted by the qualified voters of the city. If it receives a majority vote of
the people and becomes effective, then it can only be repealed by a majority vote
of the qualified voters voting at an election for such purpose.
