§ 2903. Authorization by voters; cities
(a) A city may acquire or construct a plant:
(1) when proposed by a three-fifths vote of its legislative body, subject to the veto power of the mayor under the provisions of its charter; or
(2) when proposed by a petition signed by 10 percent of the voters of the city;
provided that
(3) within one year from the date of the affirmative vote of the legislative body or the date of submission of the petition, three-fifths of the voters present and voting by Australian ballot at a regular, duly warned annual city meeting approve the acquisition or construction of the plant.
(b) At least 20 days before the annual meeting, the legislative body shall hold a public hearing on the issue of acquisition or construction, giving notice of the public hearing in the same manner as it is given for the annual meeting. If the date of the affirmative vote of the legislative body or the date of submission of the petition too closely precedes the date of the annual meeting to permit the question to be duly warned at that meeting or to permit the duly warned public hearing before that meeting, the question may be decided at the next annual meeting without another proposal by the legislative body or by the voters. In case the voters of the city fail to approve the proposal submitted to them, no similar vote shall be taken until the next annual city meeting. (Amended 1979, No. 183 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
