165.220 Tax levy for junior college.
The board of education of any city of the second class may request and the
legislative body of the city shall then, after an election as required by Section 184 of
the Constitution, annually cause to be levied and collected, for the support of a
municipal junior college, a tax of not less than five cents ($0.05) nor more than
seven cents ($0.07) on each one hundred dollars ($100) worth of property subject to
taxation for city purposes. Any election for the levy of taxes under this section shall
be held at the next regular election if the question is filed with the county clerk not
later than the second Tuesday in August preceding the regular election. The levy of
such taxes shall be made at the same time and in the same manner as other levies
for public school purposes. The amount levied shall be placed to the credit of the
board of education fund upon completion of the assessment of property for taxation,
and paid as collected, subject to the discounts or penalties allowed on other city
taxes, by the treasurer of the city to the treasurer of the board of education for the
purpose of establishing, acquiring and operating the college. The taxes authorized
by this section shall be construed to be school taxes and shall be in addition to all
other taxes authorized by law to be used for municipal or school purposes.
