Sec. 3988.0306. ELECTION TO APPROVE CONTRACT FEE. (a) The district may not enter into a contract with the city for the imposition of a fee, as described by Section 3988.0302(d), unless the imposition of the fee is approved at an election by a majority of the qualified voters of the district voting at an election called for that purpose.

(b) The resolution ordering the election and the notice of the election must describe the proposed project for which the fee revenue will be used. The description must include:

(1) a complete legal description of the area included in the proposed project;

(2) a statement of the nature of the proposed project;

(3) a statement of the total amount of fee revenue anticipated to be spent on the proposed project; and

(4) the amount of the fee to be imposed.

(c) The ballot proposition at the election need not contain a complete legal description of the area included in the proposed project, but the proposition must contain a general description of the area that is sufficient to give notice to the voters of the location of the proposed project. The ballot proposition must also contain the information described by Subsections (b)(2), (3), and (4).

(d) If the ballot proposition is approved, the district may not exceed any limitations imposed on the project by the resolution ordering the election with respect to the area, nature, or amount of fee revenue spent on the project. If the district desires to expand the project beyond those limitations, the proposed expansion must be approved at an election in the manner provided for the original project.

(e) If a majority of the voters voting at the election do not approve the ballot proposition, the district may not call a subsequent election under this section on the imposition of a fee for the same proposed project before the first anniversary of the date of the most recent election held under this section on the imposition of a fee for the same proposed project.
