(a) SUBMISSION OF EXTRA LEVY TO VOTE.
The Council may, at any time at least sixty (60) days prior to a November or special election, declare by resolution, adopted by a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of all the members elected thereto, that the amount of taxes which may be raised within the Constitutional limitation of the State of Ohio will be insufficient to provide an adequate amount for the necessary requirements of the Municipality, and that it is necessary to levy a tax in excess of such limitations in addition to the levies authorized and limited by said Constitution for any municipal purpose or purposes specified in such resolution, and permitted by law. Such resolution shall be confined to a single purpose and specify the amount of increase in rate which it is necessary to levy, the purpose thereof, and the number of years in which such increase shall be in effect which may or may not include a levy on the duplicate for the current year and date of any proposed election. The number of years shall be any number not exceeding five (5) years except that when the additional rate is for the payment of debt charges the increased rate shall be for the life of the indebtedness. Such resolution shall be effective upon its adoption and shall be certified within five (5) days thereafter to the election authorities hereinafter described in this Charter, which shall place such question upon the ballot at the next succeeding November election or at the specified proposed election. If a majority of those voting thereon for an extra levy at a November election, or if sixty percent (60%) voting thereon in the case of a special election cast their ballots for the approval of such additional levy, the Council shall immediately make such levy or such part thereof as it finds necessary, pursuant to such approval, and certify the same to the County Auditor to be placed on the tax list and collected as other taxes. The authority of the Council to submit additional levies to a vote of the people under authority of the Constitution or the laws of this State shall not be deemed impaired or abridged by reason of any provision in this Charter except as to the requirement of the percentage of the voters necessary to approve the passage of the issue.
(b) OTHER TAXES.
The Council shall have the power to levy such other taxes as may be lawful in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution and the laws of the State of Ohio.
