§ 11.02. Referendum

The voters shall have power to require reconsideration by the city council of any adopted ordinance, excepting those ordinances relating to the appropriation of money or levy of taxes, such power being known as "referendum". In the submission of a petition for referendum, the number and qualifications of signers shall be the same as required in this Charter for an initiative petition, except that referendum petitions must be filed with the city secretary within sixty (60) days after the final passage of the ordinance that is the subject of the referendum, or else the petition shall be barred by the lapse of time. When such petition has been certified as sufficient by the city secretary, the ordinance specified in the petition shall not go into effect, or if it has gone into effect, further enforcement or action thereunder shall be suspended unless and until such ordinance is approved by the voters as provided herein.
