Subd. 3.  Establishment of service districts.  Notwithstanding any provision of law requiring uniform property tax rates on real or personal property within the county, Dakota County may establish subordinate service districts to provide and finance various public safety services, including 911 access and county sheriff patrols which it is otherwise authorized to undertake.

 

Subd. 4.  Creation by county board.  The county board of commissioners of Dakota County may establish a subordinate service district in a portion of the county by adoption of an appropriate resolution.  Before the adoption of such a resolution, the county board shall hold a public hearing on the question of whether or not a subordinate service district shall be established.  The resolution shall specify the service or services to be provided within the subordinate taxing district and shall specify the territorial boundaries of the district.

Subd. 6.  Publication and effective date.  Upon passage of a resolution authorizing the creation of a subordinate county service district, the county board shall cause to be published once in the official newspapers the resolution.  The resolution shall include a general description of the territory to be included within the district, the type of service or services to be undertaken in the district, a statement of the means by which the service or services will be financed, and a designation of the county agency or officer who will be responsible for supervising the provision of the service or services.  The service district shall be deemed established 30 days after publication or at such later date as may be specified in the resolution.

 

Subd. 7.  Referendum.  (a) Upon receipt of a petition signed by five percent of the qualified voters within the territory of the proposed service district prior to the effective date of its creation as specified in subdivision 6, the creation shall be held in abeyance pending a referendum vote of all qualified electors residing within the boundaries of the proposed service district.

 

(b) The county board shall make arrangements for the holding of a special election on a date authorized by section 205.10, subdivision 3a, and within the boundaries of the proposed taxing district.  The question to be submitted and voted upon by the qualified voters within the territory of the proposed service district shall be phrased substantially as follows:

 

"Shall a subordinate service district be established in order to provide (service or services to be provided) financed by (revenue sources)?"

Subd. 8.  Expansion of boundaries of subordinate service district.  The county board, on its own motion or pursuant to petition, may enlarge any existing subordinate county service district pursuant to the procedures specified in subdivisions 4 to 7.  Only qualified voters residing in the district to be added shall be eligible to participate in the election, provided that, if five percent of the qualified voters residing in the existing service district petition to participate therein, all qualified voters residing in the proposed service district shall be eligible.

 

Subd. 9.  Financing.  Upon adoption of the next annual budget following the creation of a subordinate county service district, the county board shall include in such budget appropriate provisions for the operation of the subordinate service district including, as appropriate, a property tax levied only on property within the boundaries of the subordinate taxing district or by levy of a service charge against the users of such service within the district, or by any combination thereof.
