city program excluded from county program, when.
Whenever a petition containing the signatures of not less than 5% of the

with the appropriate county election officer requesting an election on the
question of whether a tax levy of not more than one mill except that in
counties having a population of more than 15,500 and less than 16,000, a
tax levy of not more than 1.5 mills shall be made
on all of the taxable tangible property in the city or county for the
purpose of creating or continuing a service program for the elderly
operated by municipalities as defined in K.S.A. 10-101, and amendments
thereto, or nonprofit organizations, such proposition shall be submitted
to the voters of the
city or county at a question submitted election held in accordance with
the provisions of K.S.A. 10-120, and amendments thereto. The proposition submitted
shall be in the following form: "An annual tax of __ (a specified
amount or not to exceed a specified amount) mill shall be levied in __________
(city or county) to fund a service program for the elderly." The board
of county commissioners of any county or the governing body of any city
on its own motion may provide by resolution or ordinance for an annual tax
levy of not more than one mill, except that in counties having a population
of more than 15,500 and less than 16,000, such tax levy shall not exceed
1.5 mills, for the purpose stated in this section, and such proposition
shall be submitted to the voters of the county or city for approval or rejection
without petition in the manner provided in this section, and the proposition
shall be stated in the same form as
if in response to a petition. If a
majority of the qualified electors voting on the proposition vote "yes"
such tax levy shall be made annually on all of the taxable tangible
property within the city or county for such purpose 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. If the proposition does not specify the amount of the levy
but prescribes the maximum, such levy shall be in an amount specified by
the board of county commissioners or governing body of the city not
exceeding the maximum so specified. Such tax levy shall be in addition
to all other tax levies authorized by law. No city
which has approved a service program for the elderly at an election held
under this section shall be included in a county
service program for the elderly so long as such city service program is
in operation. In any year after the year in which a tax is first levied
under the provisions of this act, the board of county commissioners of
the county or the governing body of the city may resubmit the
proposition to make a levy in such amount as may be determined necessary
to fund such program or may on their own motion by resolution or
ordinance fix the amount of such levy in any amount, not exceeding the
amount stated in the original proposition submitted to and approved by
the electors of the county or city, which such board of commissioners or
governing body deems necessary to finance the service program in such
year. A county having a population of more than 15,500 and less than 16,000
shall not increase its mill levy above one mill for service programs for
the elderly without the approval of a majority of the qualified electors
voting on such a proposition as provided in this section.
