before the fifteenth day of August of each year beginning in
1968 a proposed budget for the ensuing school year. In order to
obtain funds for school purposes the board is authorized to impose an
annual tax levy, commencing in 1968, not to exceed ninety mills,
exclusive of any millage imposed for bond debt service. In the event the
board determines that the annual tax levy should exceed ninety mills, the
board shall hold a public hearing on the question at least two weeks
prior to submitting such the request to the legislative
delegation county council. Notice of such
the public hearing shall must be advertised in
a newspaper of general circulation in the county, and shall state the date,
time, and place of the hearing as well as a clearly worded
statement of the requested annual tax levy. Upon certification by the
board to the county auditor of the tax levy to be imposed the auditor
shall levy and the county treasurer shall collect the millage so certified
upon all taxable property in the district. A tax levy for any year
exceeding ninety mills must be approved by county council by
ordinance."
