Whenever a county home has been established as authorized by K.S.A. 19-2106,
the board of county commissioners may thereafter provide
for the establishment of an additional home or homes, or for the
enlargement of or addition to the home previously established and for
the equipping, repairing, remodeling, or furnishing of such home or
homes, enlargements, or additions. The county commissioners shall
determine the amount necessary to be raised for such purposes which
shall not exceed one percent (1%) of the assessed tangible valuation of
the county, and may levy an annual tax of not to exceed two mills upon
the taxable tangible property of the county, for the purpose of raising
such funds and to pay a portion of the principal and interest on bonds
issued under the authority of K.S.A. 12-1774, and amendments
thereto, by cities located in the county. Before any taxes may be
levied, the board of county commissioners shall adopt a resolution
stating the proposed purpose, amount of the fund required therefor, and
shall publish the same once each week for three consecutive weeks in the
official county newspaper. Whereupon such levy may be made unless a
petition requesting an election upon the proposition signed by electors
equal in number to not less than ten percent (10%) of the electors of
the county who voted for the secretary of state at the last preceding
general election is filed with the county clerk within thirty (30) days
following the last publication of such resolution. In the event such
petition is filed, the board of county commissioners shall submit the
question of the making of the improvement to the voters at an election
called for that purpose and held within ninety (90) days after the last
publication of the resolution or at the next primary or general election
if held within that time and no such levies shall be made unless such
proposition shall receive the approval of a majority of the votes cast
thereon. Elections on the proposition shall be noticed and held and the
vote canvassed in the same manner as provided in K.S.A. 19-2107. Said
tax levies shall be in addition to all other tax levies authorized or
limited by law and shall not be subject to nor within the aggregate
county tax levy limit; and such county shall be authorized to issue
no-fund warrants in the same manner as provided in K.S.A.
19-2106. If at any time prior to the time that moneys are available
from such levy, the board of county commissioners shall deem it
advisable to proceed with such construction or improvement the board may
issue general obligation bonds of the county in the manner provided by
the general bond law, in an amount which together with any moneys raised
by the tax levy will not exceed the total amount stated in the
resolution. All moneys received pursuant to this section shall be placed
in the home for the aged fund, to be used for the purposes herein
provided. Insofar as the same can be made applicable, the provisions of
K.S.A. 19-2106 to 19-2116, inclusive, and amendments thereto, shall
apply to any home or addition thereto established hereunder.
