275.26 PAYMENT OF EXPENSES.
If a district is established or changes its boundaries it shall
pay all expenses incurred by the area education agency administrator
and the area education agency board in connection with the
proceedings. The county commissioner of elections shall assess the
costs of the election against the district as provided in section
47.3. If the proposition is dismissed or defeated at the election
all expenses shall be apportioned among the several districts in
proportion to the assessed valuation of property therein.
If the proposed district or boundary change embraces territory in
more than one area education agency such expenses shall be certified
to and, if necessary, apportioned among the several districts by the
joint agency board. If in only one agency the certification shall be
made by the agency administrator.
The respective boards to which such expenses are certified shall
audit and order the same paid from the general fund. In the event of
failure of any board to so audit and pay the expenses certified to
it, the area education agency administrator shall certify the
expenses to the county auditor in the same manner as is provided for
tuition claims in section 282.21 and the funds shall be transferred
by the county treasurer from the debtor district to the agency board
for payment of said expenses. Section History: Early Form
