(b) If the petition contains the valid signatures in the county in
numbers at least equal to eight percent of the registered voters
in the City, the election shall take place on the first Tuesday
after 120 days from certification of the petition. The result shall
be determined by a majority vote of the electors voting on the
proposal.

ordinance by referendum petition shall be effective on the day after
the election, except that:
(a) Any reduction or elimination of existing revenue or any increase in
expenditures not provided for by the current budget or by
existing bond issues shall not take effect until the beginning of
the next succeeding fiscal year; and
(b) Rights accumulated under an ordinance between the time a
certified referendum petition against the ordinance is presented
to the Board and the repeal of the ordinance by the voters, shall
not be enforced against the City; and
(c) Should two or more ordinances adopted at the same election have
conflicting provisions, the one receiving the highest number of
votes shall prevail as to those provisions.
7. An ordinance adopted by the electorate through initiatory proceedings
shall not be amended or repealed by the Board for a period of one
year after the election at which it was adopted, but thereafter it may
be amended or repealed like any other ordinance.
