Upon receipt of the preliminary levy from the County Clerk, the governing body may either accept or change the amount of the preliminary levy established by the County. If the amount of the preliminary levy is deemed to be adequate and sufficient by the governing body, the preliminary levy shall become the final levy without further action by the governing body. The governing body may reject the preliminary levy and pass by a majority vote a resolution or ordinance setting the levy at a different amount prior to October 15. Such resolution or ordinance shall only be passed after the governing body holds a special public hearing called for such purpose and after notice of the hearing is published in a newspaper of general circulation within the municipality at least five days prior to the hearing. Any resolution or ordinance setting a tax levy under this section shall be forwarded to the County Clerk and certified.
