opinion of the highway district commissioners, produce a sufficient amount of
money for the use of the highway district for their purposes, the highway
district board may by order authorize the holding of an election within the
highway district, at which election the voters may determine whether or not
any levy for any purpose authorized by law for highway districts shall be
increased to produce revenues for those purposes. If at the election the
majority of the qualified voters shall vote in favor of increasing any of the
levies, the levies may be increased. The increase shall not exceed an
additional twenty per cent (20%) of the levy authorized by law for that
purpose.

shall be given by posting notices in three (3) public places within the
highway district at least fifteen (15) days prior to the election and by

Idaho Code. The notice shall state:
    (a)  The time and place of holding the election;
