This ordinance is not effective until it has been submitted to referendum of, and approved by, the legal voters of the city or county, as the case may be, which caused the formation of that Council. The recording office of the council shall certify the ordinance and the proposition to the proper election officials in accordance with the general election law.

If a majority of the vote is in favor of the issuance of such general obligation bonds the county clerk shall annually extend taxes against all taxable property within the city or county, as the case may be, at a rate sufficient to pay the maturing principal and interest of these bonds.
