Article 1.--STATE AND OTHER AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES AND FAIRS
2-129i.Tax levies for fair associations in urban
area counties; use
of proceeds; protest petition and election.
The board of county commissioners of any county designated as an urban
area by K.S.A. 19-2654, and amendments thereto, and in which there is a
county fair association
officially recognized by the secretary of
agriculture, upon request of
the fair association may make an annual tax levy of not to exceed 1/10 mill
upon all the taxable tangible property of the
county for the purpose of raising funds to be used for the purchase of
land and the erection and maintenance of buildings and improvements
thereon, including construction of streets and sewers for such fair
association 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. No levy shall be made under the provisions of
this section
until a resolution authorizing the making of such levy is passed by the
county commissioners and published for two consecutive issues in the
official county paper. Whereupon, such levies may be made unless a
petition in opposition thereto signed by not less than 5% of the qualified
electors of the county, as determined by the vote for
secretary of state at the last preceding election, is filed with the
county election officer within 60 days following the last
publication of the resolution of the board. In the event such a petition
is filed, it shall be the duty of the board of commissioners to submit
the question to the voters at an election called for such purpose or at
the next general election. If no protest petition is filed or if the
question is submitted on a question submitted ballot and those voting on
the question shall vote in favor of such tax levy, then the board of
county commissioners shall make such tax levies. The amounts collected by
the county for the purposes hereinbefore specified from tax levies, 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 paid to the fair association, upon
request of the association.
