The boundaries of the council districts shall be adjusted by the council before the first day of November of the year following the year in which each decennial federal census is taken.
Notwithstanding Article 2 (commencing with Section 34870) of Chapter 7 of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 4 of the Government Code, if the council fails to adjust the boundaries prior to the 90th day before the final date for registration of electors for an election of council members in the city, each council member to be elected at that election and at any succeeding election shall have the qualifications required by Section 34883 of the Government Code, but shall be elected at large. Council members shall continue to be so elected until the council adjusts the boundaries of the districts.
