12-1220.Same; election to establish; tax levy, use of proceeds; library
fund established; territory of existing library excluded, when.
The governing body of any municipality may by resolution, and shall,
upon presentation of a petition signed by ten percent (10%) of the
qualified electors of such municipality determined upon the basis of the
total vote cast for the secretary of state at the last preceding general
election, cause to be submitted to the voters of such municipality at
the first local or general election thereafter, or if the petition so
requires, at a special election called for that purpose, the question of
the establishment and maintenance of a library by such municipality. If
a majority of the votes cast at such election on such proposition shall
be in the affirmative, the governing body shall forthwith establish such
library and is hereby authorized to and shall annually levy a tax for
the maintenance of such library in such sum as the library board shall
determine within the limitations fixed by law 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.
Such tax shall be levied and collected in like manner as other taxes
of the municipality and, except for an amount 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, shall be kept in a
separate fund to be known as
the library fund of such municipality. If the territory of the
municipality includes another municipality which is then maintaining a
library, the proposition to establish a library by the larger
municipality shall not be voted upon by the residents of the included
municipality, nor shall a levy to establish or maintain such library be
assessed against property therein, unless the library board and
governing body of the included municipality shall give notice in writing
that they desire to participate in the library to be established and to
pay the tax for the establishment and maintenance thereof as other parts
of the municipality establishing such library.
