§ 145A.3 — Official planning — maximum levy

Iowa § 145A.3

• Jurisdiction: Iowa
• Title IV: PUBLIC HEALTH
• Ch. 145A: AREA HOSPITALS

Text

The officials of a political subdivision may plan the formation of a public corporation as a
merged area to establish and operate an area hospital. In planning for an area hospital, a
county board of supervisors may exclude from the merged area any township of the county
which the board of supervisors determines would not sufficiently benefit by the merger and
the portion of the county not so excluded shall constitute one public corporation for the
purposes of this chapter. Plans for an area hospital shall include the maximum amount to
be levied for debt service and operation and maintenance of the area hospital in the portion
of the merged area within each political subdivision taking part in the merger. However, the
maximum tax rates for the various political subdivisions may vary as the officials determine,
based upon the need for hospital service of the residents of each political subdivision, the
proximity of the residents to the proposed location of the hospital, the property values within
the subdivision, and the expected service benefits to the residents of each subdivision by the
proposed area hospital.
