28E.28A REFERENDUM ON TAX LEVY -- DISSOLUTION OF
DISTRICT.
1. After five years from the date that a district is established,
the public safety commission, upon receipt of a petition signed by
eligible electors residing within the district equal in number to at
least fifteen percent of the registered voters in the district, shall
submit a proposition to the electorate of the district at the next
general election to discontinue the annual levy for unified law
enforcement services in the district. If a majority of the
registered voters in each city and the unincorporated area of the
county, as applicable, approve the proposition, the tax levy shall be
discontinued.
2. If the discontinuation of the tax levy necessitates the
dissolution of the district, the public safety commission shall
dispose of any remaining property, the proceeds of which shall be
applied first against any outstanding obligations of the district and
any balance shall be remitted to the county and each city in the
district in the same proportion that each jurisdiction contributed to
the district's budget in its final fiscal year. The board of
supervisors, on behalf of the unincorporated area of the county and
the city councils of the cities included in the dissolved district
shall continue to levy taxes and appropriate funds to the public
safety fund as provided in section 28E.24 until all outstanding
obligations of the dissolved district are paid. Section History: Recent Form
