Latest version.

The people of Richfield reserve to themselves the powers of initiative, referendum and recall, to be exercised, in accordance with the provisions of this Charter. Initiative is the process for voters to propose and adopt an ordinance. Referendum is the process to require an ordinance passed by the council to be referred to the voters for approval or disapproval. Recall is the process for removing an elected public official from office. Initiative and referendum may not be used with an ordinance that appropriates money, authorizes the levy of taxes, or involves land use or zoning.
