Sec. 13.
The Board may, after referendum approval, levy a tax for
corporate purposes of the District annually at the rate approved by
referendum, but which rate shall not exceed .05% of the value of all
taxable property within the Port District as equalized or assessed by
the Department of Revenue.
If the Board desires to levy such a tax it shall order that the question
be submitted at a referendum to be held within the District. The Board
shall certify its order and the question to the proper election officials,
who shall submit the question to the voters at an election
in accordance with the general election law. The Board shall cause the
result of the referendum to be entered upon the records of the Port
District. If a majority of the vote on the question is in favor of the question, the
Board may annually thereafter levy a tax for corporate purposes at a
rate not to exceed that approved by referendum but in no event to exceed
.05% of the value of all taxable property with the District as equalized
or assessed by the Department of Revenue.
The question shall be in substantially the following
form:
-------------------------------------------------------------- Shall the Seneca Regional Port District levy a tax for corporate purposes YES annually at a rate not to exceed ....% of the value ---------------------------- of taxable property as equalized or assessed by the NO Department of Revenue?--------------------------------------------------------------
