(1) The commission shall examine methods of constructing, equipping and furnishing buildings or improvements of the type contemplated so as to determine the plan that <br>will best answer the needs of the city, taking into consideration its probable growth. (2) When the commission has decided upon a general plan for the construction and furnishing of the buildings or for making the improvements, it shall report the plan, <br>with such alternative plans as it deems expedient, to the mayor, giving a description <br>of the general plan and the probable cost of carrying out each plan. The mayor shall <br>submit this report to the legislative body of the city and the plan recommended by <br>the commission shall be adopted and carried out, unless the plan is rejected and <br>disapproved by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the legislative body within thirty (30) days <br>from the time it is received by the legislative body. If the plan is rejected by the <br>legislative body, then at any time within thirty (30) days thereafter one (1) of the <br>alternative plans may be considered by the legislative body and of these plans the <br>one (1) shall finally be adopted that is approved by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the <br>legislative body. If none of the plans receives the necessary two-thirds (2/3) vote <br>within thirty (30) days after the one (1) recommended by the commission has been <br>rejected, the commission, with the approval of the mayor, may choose a plan and <br>carry it out. The legislative body shall have no power to vary any plan presented by <br>the commission, but in adopting one (1) of those reported must adopt it in its <br>entirety.
