(1) Any city with a population equal to or greater than three thousand (3,000) but less than twenty thousand (20,000) based upon the most recent federal decennial census, located in a county containing a consolidated local government, which provides police, fire, or garbage collection services for the residents of the city may levy a supplemental tax which shall be in addition to ad valorem property taxes.
(2) Such supplemental tax shall be in an amount not to exceed the reasonable cost of police, fire, and garbage collection services actually provided by the city. The rate of such tax shall be established by an ordinance which shall have readings at no less than two (2) different meetings of the city legislative body before passage.

(4) Any ordinance levying a supplemental tax pursuant to subsection (2) of this section may be recalled as provided in subsections (2) and (3) of KRS § 160.485, provided that the petition for recall shall be effective upon the signature of a number of registered and qualified voters as described therein equal to five percent (5%) instead of the percentage provided therein.
