(a) The board shall prepare, publish and approve an annual
budget
for the maintenance and support of the library and may levy a tax not to exceed
five mills on all taxable tangible property in the library district.
At least 10 days prior to filing the
adopted budget with the county clerk, the board shall submit the budget to the
governing body of the city and county for review thereby.
(b) Whenever the board determines
that the tax levy of five mills authorized by subsection (a) is insufficient
to maintain and support the library, the board shall adopt a resolution
declaring it necessary to increase the annual levy by an additional amount
not to exceed 1/4 mill in any one year up to a total amount which shall
not exceed an amount equal to eight mills in any year.
(c) Any such
resolution adopted under subsection (b) shall state the total amount
of the tax to be levied for
library purposes and shall be published once each week for two
consecutive weeks in the official county newspaper. Whereupon such annual
levy in an amount not to exceed the amount stated in the resolution may
be made for the ensuing budget year and each successive budget year
unless a petition, signed by at least 5% of the qualified electors of the
library district, requesting an election upon the proposition to
increase the tax levy in excess of the current tax levy
is filed with the county election officer within 60
days following the date of the last publication of the
resolution. In the event a valid petition is filed, no such increased
levy shall be made without such proposition having been submitted to and
having been approved by a majority of the electors of the library district
voting at an
election
called and held thereon. All such elections shall be called and held in
the manner provided by the general bond law. Such
taxes shall be levied and collected in like manner as other taxes, which
levy the board shall certify, on or before August 25
of each year, to the county clerk who is hereby authorized and
required to place the same on the tax roll of the county to be
collected by the county treasurer and paid over by the county treasurer to
the treasurer of such board.
(d) The levy authorized by this section shall not be deemed a levy of the
city or county, and shall be in addition to all other levies authorized or
limited by law.
