Any ordinance may be adopted, amended, or repealed at any time by appropriate initiatory or referendary procedure in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this chapter or if submitted to the electorate by the Council on its own motion.

(b)

If two or more ordinances adopted at the same election shall have conflicting provisions, the provisions in the ordinance receiving the highest number of affirmative votes shall govern.

(c)

The certification by the Clerk of the sufficiency of a referendary petition within forty days after passage of the ordinance to which such petition refers shall automatically suspend the operation of the ordinance in question pending repeal by the Council or the final determination of the electors thereon.
