For the maintenance and operation of each community college, in addition to the income from tuition paid by students as hereinbefore provided, the board of trustees may levy upon the taxable property within the district a tax not to exceed one hundred twenty-five thousandths percent (.125%) of the market value for assessment purposes on all taxable property within the district.
The tax levy determined by the board of trustees, within said limit, shall be certified to the board of county commissioners in each county in which the district may lie, not later than the second Monday in September of each year. No levy in excess of one hundred twenty-five thousandths percent (.125%) of the market value for assessment purposes on all taxable property within the district shall be made unless a supplemental levy in a specified amount be first authorized through an election held, as provided in title 34, Idaho Code, as if the community college district were a school district and approved by a majority of the district electors voting in such election.
