(1)
(2)
(3)
The fiscal court of a county containing a city with a population equal to or
greater than twenty thousand (20,000) based upon the most recent federal
decennial census that has 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 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.
