      19-2876c.   Same; approval of electors for increased levy required; submission of proposal. The board of commissioners of the Johnson county recreation district shall not levy the additional one-half (1/2) mill authorized in this act by the amendment to K.S.A. 19-2876, until the same shall have been submitted to and approved by the qualified electors of the district. The question of whether said board shall be authorized to levy the additional tax may be submitted to the qualified electors of the district at a general election or at a special election for such purpose, to be noticed, called and held in the manner provided for the giving of notice, calling and holding elections upon the question of issuance of bonds under the general bond law. If a majority of the votes cast and counted on such proposition at any such election are in favor thereof, the board may levy such additional tax.

      It shall be the duty of the board to determine whether such proposition shall be submitted at a general or special election, as provided herein, and to give notice thereof to the county election officer. If such proposition is submitted at a special election, the laws relating to questions submitted at special elections, including payment of the expenses thereof, shall govern said election.
