Eugene Charter <br /> <br />accordance with Section 32 of this charter. <br /> <br />Section 32. Effective Date of Ordinances. <br /> (1) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, an ordinance takes <br />effect 30 days after its adoption by the council and approval by the mayor or passage over the <br />mayor’s veto, or at a later date specified in the ordinance. <br /> (2) With the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members of the council, the <br />council may provide for an ordinance to take effect immediately upon adoption by the council <br />and approval by the mayor or passage over the mayor’s veto, or at some other date less than 30 <br />days after adoption, if the council determines that the earlier effective date is necessary to serve <br />an important public purpose. An ordinance with an effective date of less than 30 days after <br />adoption must include a separate section stating specifically why the earlier effective date is <br />necessary. <br /> <br />Section 32-A. Ordinances Adopted by Initiative. In addition to the rights of electors to initiate <br /> ordinances pursuant to Article IV, section 1(5) of the Oregon Constitution, city <br />electors may initiate a “protected” ordinance. A protected ordinance may be amended or <br />repealed only by another initiative, council referral, or by unanimous vote of councilors present <br />and voting at a council meeting. The chief petitioners for a protected ordinance shall include <br />with the prospective petition, a statement declaring whether the ordinance is proposed as a <br />regular ordinance or a protected ordinance. A petition for a protected ordinance and any <br />qualified ballot measure for a protected ordinance shall state that it is proposed as a protected <br />ordinance and shall explain the limitations on its repeal or amendment. <br /> <br /> <br />Chapter VIII <br /> <br /> <br />Elections <br /> <br /> <br />Section 33. Wards. The council shall divide the city into wards and redefine the boundaries <br /> thereof as necessary to accord persons in the city the equal protection of the laws. <br />No person may vote at a city election in a ward other than that in which he or she resides. <br /> <br />Section 34. Voters' Qualifications. No person may vote in a city election unless the person is <br /> a qualified voter of the state, and has resided in the city for the length of time that <br />state law requires a person to reside in the state to vote in a state election. No person may vote <br />for an officer to be elected under this charter by ward unless the person has resided in the ward <br />for the same length time required in the preceding sentence for a person to vote in a city election. <br /> <br />Section 35. Notice. The city manager or designee shall distribute information regarding <br /> officers to be elected and measures to be submitted ten days prior to the <br />distribution of ballots. The notice shall also state the ballot drop sites. <br /> <br /> -10- 11/28/2005 <br /> <br />
