Consideration by board; submission to registered voters;
withdrawal of petition.

1.  When an initiative or referendum
petition has been finally determined sufficient, the board shall promptly
consider the proposed initiative ordinance in the manner provided by law for
the consideration of ordinances generally or reconsider the referred ordinance
by voting its repeal. If, within 30 days after the date the petition was
finally determined sufficient, the board fails to adopt the proposed initiative
ordinance without any change in substance or fails to repeal the referred
ordinance, the board shall submit the proposed or referred ordinance to the
registered voters of the county.

2.  The vote of the county on the proposed
or referred ordinance must be held at the next general election. Copies of the
proposed or referred ordinance must be made available at the polls.

3.  An initiative or referendum petition
may be withdrawn at any time before the 30th day preceding the day scheduled
for a vote of the county or the deadline for placing questions on the ballot,
whichever is earlier, by filing with the county clerk a request for withdrawal
signed by at least four members of the petitioners’ original committee. Upon
the filing of that request, the petition has no further effect and all
proceedings thereon must be terminated.
