| 13 |
| for public safety, public facility, or transportation purposes | 14 |
| in that county, if a
proposition for the
tax has been submitted | 15 |
| to the electors of that county and
approved by a majority of | 16 |
| those voting on the question. If imposed, this tax
shall be | 17 |
| imposed only in one-quarter percent increments. By resolution, | 18 |

shall notify the State | 13 |

average | 7 |
