12-1254. Library in cities between 120,000 and 150,000; submission of
proposition to levy tax for building fund; use of proceeds.
In all cities having a population by the official state census of more
than one hundred twenty thousand (120,000) and less than one hundred fifty
thousand (150,000) in which a free public library has heretofore been
established as provided by law, the board of directors of such free public
library is hereby authorized and empowered to submit the question of making
an annual tax levy of not to exceed one (1) mill for a period not to exceed
five (5) years upon the taxable tangible property within such city for the
purpose of creating a building fund to be used for the construction,
reconstruction, additions to, furnishing and equipping of the building
housing such free public library and of a building to house motor vehicles
of such free public library and the architectural expense incidental
thereto, to the electors of such city at an election called and held in the
manner provided for the calling and holding of elections under the
provisions of the general bond law, at the time fixed for the holding of
the primary election in August. The amount of such levy and the period for
which it will be made shall be stated in the notice and upon the ballot of
such election. No tax levy shall be made under the provisions of this act
without the question of the making of such levy having been submitted to
and having received the approval of a majority of the electors of such city
voting thereon at an election called and held for such purpose. All moneys
derived from the tax levy authorized by this act shall be placed in a
building fund to be used only for the purposes for which the tax levy was
made. All tax levies authorized by this act shall be in addition to all
other tax levies authorized by law and shall not be subject to any of the
limitations prescribed by law, including K.S.A. 12-1215 and 12-1217 and any
acts amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto.
