(2)
To maintain and preserve any improvement and to defray the current expenses
of the district, the board may, upon the completion of any improvement and on
the first Monday in December in each year thereafter, levy an assessment
upon each piece of property within the district, to be known as a maintenance
assessment. This maintenance assessment, apportioned upon the basis of
benefits assessed on account of original construction, shall not exceed ten
percent (10%) thereof in any one (1) year, and shall be certified to the sheriff of
each county in which property of the district lies as the annual installment of
assessment is certified, and recorded in the same book, but in a separate
column under the heading "maintenance assessment." This assessment shall
not in any one (1) year exceed two percent (2%) of the original cost of
construction, unless consent is first obtained in writing from the owners of
two-thirds (2/3) of the property affected.
The sheriff shall demand and collect the maintenance assessment, make
return, receive the same compensation and be liable for the same penalties for
failure or neglect as is provided in KRS 268.420 for the annual installments of
assessments. The maintenance assessment shall be payable and shall be
collected at the same time each year that the other assessments of the district
due that year are payable, shall bear the same penalties and shall be enforced
in the same manner.
