Except as otherwise provided by law for issuance of city bonds, the electors may approve
or reject any ordinance or legislative resolution at the polls in the manner provided
in this article, including ordinances brought before the city commission by initiative
petition and passed by it without change, regardless of whether the ordinance is submitted
to vote of the electors by the city commission on its own motion or pursuant to petition
and may adopt or reject it at the polls. This power shall be exercised as provided
in this article and shall be known as the referendum. Within thirty (30) days after
the enactment of an ordinance, or within forty-five (45) days after the enactment
of a legislative resolution, a petition signed by at least five (5) percent of the
city electors as shown by the current voter registration lists may be filed with the
city clerk requesting that the ordinance or legislative resolution be either repealed
or submitted to vote of the electors. Administrative resolutions are not subject to
referendum.
