levied a special tax of not more than Fifteen cents ($.15) per one-hundred dollar
($100) valuation of all real and personal property in the District unless otherwise

Commissioners in its annual budget or as they may otherwise determine.
3. That a special or separate fund shall be maintained by the County for funds collected
as a result of said special tax.

Department will furnish fire and rescue services free of charge to all persons and
individuals within the District (excluding non-public commercial transportation). Fire

immediately notify the County and Fire Department shall take corrective
measures to rectify the expenditure and to ensure such expenditure shall not
