The board of commissioners of the Johnson county park and recreation district shall not levy the tax authorized by Kan. Stat. Ann. § 19-2881a 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 tax may be submitted to the qualified electors of the district at a general election or at a special election to be noticed, called and held for such purpose 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 the proposition at any such election are in favor thereof, the board may levy such 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.
