ordinance; dissolution of district.
Within 45 days following publication of an ordinance
establishing a district pursuant to K.S.A. 12-1788, and amendments
thereto, or the publication of an ordinance levying annual service fees
pursuant to K.S.A. 12-1791, and amendments thereto, the owners
of businesses located within the district may file with the governing body
of the city a petition in opposition to the
continuation of the district or the levying of such service fees. Upon
a finding that a petition opposing the establishment of the
district was signed
by not less than a majority of the number of businesses located within the
district, no service fee shall be levied within the district and the
district shall be dissolved. Upon the finding that a petition
opposing the levy of service fees for the
ensuing year was signed by not less than a majority of the number of
businesses located within the district, no service fees shall be levied
pursuant to the ordinance specified in such petition and the district shall
be dissolved as of the end of
that calendar year. The governing body, by ordinance, shall
repeal the ordinance which established the district or the
ordinance which levied the annual service fees, effective as of the end of
that calendar year. After the payment of all costs incurred by the
district for that calendar year, the city shall return any unused
and unencumbered moneys collected and distribute such moneys
back to the businesses on a pro rata basis in the same percentage as such
moneys were collected.
