145A.3 OFFICIAL PLANNING -- MAXIMUM LEVY.
The officials of a political subdivision may plan the formation of
a public corporation as a merged area to establish and operate an
area hospital. In planning for an area hospital, a county board of
supervisors may exclude from the merged area any township of the
county which the board of supervisors determines would not
sufficiently benefit by the merger and the portion of the county not
so excluded shall constitute one public corporation for the purposes
of this chapter. Plans for an area hospital shall include the
maximum amount to be levied for debt service and operation and
maintenance of the area hospital in the portion of the merged area
within each political subdivision taking part in the merger.
However, the maximum tax rates for the various political subdivisions
may vary as the officials determine, based upon the need for hospital
service of the residents of each political subdivision, the proximity
of the residents to the proposed location of the hospital, the
property values within the subdivision, and the expected service
benefits to the residents of each subdivision by the proposed area
hospital. Section History: Early Form
