49030. The board of supervisors shall levy a tax each year upon the taxable property in the district sufficient to defray the cost of the disposal of garbage and other refuse in the district, and of the maintenance of the district, and to meet other expenditures authorized by this chapter. The tax shall be levied and collected at the same time, and in the same manner, as general county taxes levied for county purposes and, when collected, shall be paid into the county treasury and used in furtherance of the purposes of this chapter. 49031. For any district in a county with a population of six million or more, the board of supervisors may prescribe and collect garbage and refuse collection and disposal service fees for the purpose of defraying the cost of the disposal of garbage and refuse in the district, maintaining the district, and meeting other expenditures authorized by this chapter. Subject to the additional requirements of Section 49032, fees and charges prescribed, revised, and collected pursuant to this section shall be prescribed, revised, and collected pursuant to Article 4 (commencing with Section 5470) of Chapter 6 of Part 3 of the Health and Safety Code. 49032. (a) Prior to adoption of the initial ordinances prescribing the fees provided for in Section 49031, the board of supervisors shall place before the voters of the district the question whether the district shall be authorized to prescribe fees. If the voters do not approve that authorization, a subsequent election to secure that approval shall not be held within one year of the date of the prior authorization election. (b) The approval of the voters may be secured at a district or countywide election or by a ballot mailed to each registered voter of the district. (c) The board of supervisors shall determine what majority of the voters voting on the proposition shall be required to approve the proposition.
