(2)
(3)
The fiscal court of a county containing a city of the second class in which is
located a municipal college, having obtained the authorization of the legislative
body of such city for the college to accept tax support from a municipal college
support district and for appointment of three (3) members of the college board
of trustees by the governing body of the district, may establish a municipal
college support district consisting of the territory in the county outside the limits
of the city in which is located the college. The members of the fiscal court shall
constitute the governing body of the district. Subject to the provisions of
subsection (2), the district may levy a tax of not less than five ($0.05) or more
than fourteen cents ($0.14) on each one hundred dollars ($100) of the
assessed valuation of all property in the district. The funds raised by this tax
shall be used solely to support the college.
A certified copy of the order of the fiscal court creating the district shall be filed
by the governing body of the district with the county clerk not later than the
second Tuesday in August before a regular election, and the clerk shall cause
the question whether the tax is to be imposed to be prepared for presentation
to voters residing in the district. The question shall be so phrased as to ask the
voter whether he favors the imposition of a tax of not less than five ($0.05) or
more than fourteen cents ($0.14) on each one hundred dollars ($100) of the
assessed valuation of all property in the district for the purpose of supporting
the municipal college in the second-class city in the county. If a majority of
those voting on the question favor the imposition of the tax, the governing body
of the district shall levy the tax.
The sheriff shall collect the taxes due the district at the same time and in the
same manner in which he collects the state and county ad valorem tax. He
shall be allowed a fee not to exceed four percent (4%) for collection of this tax.
The money collected shall be paid to the college board of trustees.
