§ 6.02. Power of referendum.

The people reserve the power to approve or reject at the polls any legislation enacted by the council which is subject to the initiative process under this Charter. Prior to or within thirty days after the effective date of any ordinance which is subject to referendum, a petition by at least ten per cent of the qualified voters of the city may be filed with the city clerk requesting that any such ordinance be either repealed or submitted to the vote of the people. When such a petition has been certified as sufficient by the city clerk, the ordinance specified in the petition shall not go into effect, or further action thereunder shall be suspended if it shall have gone into effect, until and unless it is approved by the voters as herein provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no zoning district boundary ordinance shall be subject to the referendum process.
