19-15,128. Same; issuance of general obligation bonds where special tax levy authorized under former law; limitations; validation of certain levies; election. The board of county commissioners of any county which has heretofore made a tax levy under provisions of K.S.A. 19-1569, now repealed, shall have the further right and authority by resolution without further publication and without the necessity of an election to revise the total amount determined as being necessary for such improvements and to issue general obligation bonds of such county in the manner provided by the general bond law. The amount of such special tax levy collected, together with the amount of general obligation bonds issued shall not exceed the amount originally determined or redetermined by resolution, nor exceed two and one-half percent (2 1/2%) of the assessed taxable tangible value of such county at the time of the issuance of such bonds. If any such county shall have made a tax levy in the year 1969 to finance the 1970 budget and included within such levy was the special tax levy contemplated by K.S.A. 19-1569, that notwithstanding such repeal such levy is hereby validated.
If the board of county commissioners of any such county deems it advisable to issue bonds which, together with the amount of such special tax levy collected, will exceed two and one-half percent (2 1/2%) of the assessed taxable tangible valuation of the county it may by resolution cause a proposition to issue such bonds in such amount as it deems advisable to be submitted to the electors of such county in the manner provided in the general bond law. If approved by a majority of the electors voting on such proposition such bonds may be issued in the manner provided in the general bond law and shall not be subject or within any bonded debt limitation prescribed by any law of this state and shall not be considered or included in applying any law limiting bonded indebtedness.
