If the proposed measure is approved by a majority, but not by all the members of the Board, or if the measure is not voted on at that meeting, it shall be considered at the next regular meeting of the board. If it then or at any time thereafter within one hundred (100) days of its introduction receives a majority of the votes cast, the measure is adopted.
