Further, any such petition or legislation shall require for approval a two-thirds vote of the city council, as well as a favorable vote of the retirement board. In all cases, no such vote shall occur until the retirement board has been provided with at least thirty days to give an advisory opinion to the city council on the merits of the petition or legislation.
