68.530 Fiscal court resolution and order designating submission of
proposals to voters -- Election -- Framing of questions.
(1)
(2)
In the event the fiscal court of any county determines that the public interest
requires the establishment of one or more public service programs and that
existing county revenues are inadequate to reasonably provide for such
programs, the fiscal court may by resolution and order determine that one or
more questions for the establishment of any such public service program shall
be submitted to the electorate of such county. Such resolution and order shall
designate with specificity each public service program to be submitted,
together with the proposed source of funding therefor, which shall be either an
ad valorem tax levy of a certain maximum number of cents per each one
hundred dollars ($100) of assessed valuation subject to constitutional limits, or
an occupational license tax subject to the limitations of KRS 68.520 to 68.550.
The fiscal court shall, following adoption of the resolution and order identified in
subsection (1) of this section, cause to be prepared a question for submission
to the voters of the county at an election held pursuant to notice as prescribed
in KRS 424.130. Said election shall be held in conjunction with a regularly
scheduled November election, as provided by law. The question as it will
appear on the ballot shall be filed with the county clerk not later than the
second Tuesday in August preceding the regular election. The question shall
be so framed that any voter who wishes to vote for the public service program
or any individual public service program if there be more than one, may signify
his approval by voting "Yes," and any voter who wishes to vote against the
public service program or any individual public service program so submitted
may do so by voting "No."
