Whenever the governing bodies of two (2) or more cities propose to create a municipal energy agency, a majority of the members of each such governing body shall adopt a resolution providing for the creation of such a municipal energy agency. Such resolution shall state the purpose for the creation of such agency, shall give the names of each city proposing to be a member thereof, shall state that bonds and other indebtedness may be incurred by such agency to be paid from revenues of the agency and shall state that each city becoming a member is authorized to enter into an agreement for a period not exceeding forty (40) years for the purchase of electricity or other energy from such agency. Such resolution shall be published in the official city newspaper of each such city and shall be effective sixty (60) days after such publication, unless within such sixty (60) days there is filed with the clerk of any such city a petition protesting the creation of such proposed municipal energy agency, signed by registered electors of such city equal in number to not less than ten percent (10%) of those electors of the city who voted at the last preceding city election. If such petition is filed, the governing body of such city shall submit such proposition to the electors of such city at a special election to be called and held for that purpose. Such election shall be held not more than sixty (60) days after the petition is filed. Notice of the election shall be published once in the official city newspaper, with such publication to be not more than ten (10) nor less than five (5) days prior to the date of such election. Such special election may be held at the time of any general election which occurs not sooner than thirty (30) days nor later than sixty (60) days after the filing of the petition. If a majority of the electors of such city voting on the proposition shall vote in favor thereof, the resolution providing for the creation of the municipal energy agency shall take effect.
