Amendments to this Charter may be framed and submitted to the electors of the City by a Charter Commission in the manner provided by law for framing and submitting a new Charter.
Amendments may also be proposed and submitted by ordinance in the manner prescribed by law for framing and submitting amendments, passed by a majority vote of the full membership of the City Council, and submitted to a vote of the electorate.
The Charter may be amended by the presentation of a petition requesting the same, signed by 15% of the registered voters in Denver City, to the City Council, who must then call for a vote of the electorate.
In all three preceding amendment processes, an election must be called to consider the proposed amendment. Council shall forthwith provide by ordinance for submitting such proposed amendment to a vote of the electors. The ordinance providing for the submission of such amendment or amendments shall require the submission thereof at an election to be held not less than sixty (60) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the passage of said ordinance. If the next regular municipal election is to be held during said period, the submission [of] said amendment or amendments shall be at such election. Otherwise, a special election shall be called for such purpose. Notice of the election for the submission of said amendment or amendments shall be given by publication thereof in the official newspaper published in the City on the same day in each of two (2) successive weeks; the date of the first publication to be not less than fourteen (14) days prior to the date set for said election. The form of such notice shall be as prescribed by Council or as may be otherwise prescribed by law, and shall include a substantial copy of the proposed amendment or amendments. Every amendment submitted must contain only one subject, and in preparing the ballot for such amendment, it shall be done in such manner that the voter may vote “Yes” or “No” on any amendment or amendments without voting “Yes” or “No” on all of said amendments. Each such proposed amendment, if approved by the majority of the qualified voters voting at said election, shall become a part of the Charter of the City. No amendment shall be considered adopted until an official order has been entered upon the records of the City by the Council declaring the same adopted.
The City Charter of the City of Denver City shall not be altered, amended or repealed more often than every two (2) years.
