(1)Cities of the home rule class may levy an annual tax of not more than ten
(10)mills
on the assessed valuation of the city, for the purpose of providing a fund for the
maintenance or employment of a band or orchestra.
(2)Before such tax may be levied a petition signed by five percent (5%) of the legal
voters of the city, as shown by the last regular municipal election, must be filed with
the city legislative body, requesting that the following question be submitted to the
voters: "Shall a tax of not exceeding ten
(10)mills be levied each year for the
purpose of furnishing a fund for the maintenance or employment of a municipal
band or orchestra?"
(3)The petition shall be filed with the county clerk and the county clerk shall certify
whether the petition is sufficient not later than the second Tuesday in August
preceding a general election, and the legislative body shall cause the question to be
submitted to the voters at the first following general municipal election.
(4)The levy shall be authorized if a majority of the electors voting at the election cast
votes in favor of the proposition, and the legislative body may then enact an
ordinance carrying the plan into effect.
