  1 13 by the council on its own motion to the voters at any city
  1 14 election.  Upon receipt of a valid petition as defined in
  1 15 section 362.4 requesting that a proposal be submitted to the
  1 16 voters, the council shall submit the proposal at the next
  1 17 regular city election or at a special election called for that
  1 18 purpose before the next regular city election.  However, the
  1 19 city council may dispense with such election as to the grant,
  1 20 amendment, extension, or renewal of an electric light and
  1 21 power, heating, or gasworks franchise unless there is a valid
  1 22 petition requesting submission of the proposal to the voters,
  1 23 or the party seeking such franchise, grant, amendment,
  1 24 extension, or renewal requests an election.  If a majority of
  1 25 those voting approves the proposal the city may proceed as
  1 26 proposed.  The complete text of the ordinance shall be
  1 27 included on the ballot, if paper ballots are used.  If an
  1 28 electronic voting system or voting machine is used, the
  1 29 proposal shall be stated on the ballot and the full text of
