§ 7. RECALL ELECTION.
Within 20 days after a recall petition is filed, the city clerk shall examine the same. The provisions regulating examination, certification, and amendment of initiative petitions shall apply to recall petitions. If the petition is certified by the city clerk to be sufficient and the council member whose removal is sought does not resign within five days after the certification to the council, the council shall order and hold a recall election in the territory from which the council member is elected on the first authorized election date that allows sufficient time to comply with other requirements of law.
