Text

(a) The president or secretary of a 4-H club
described in section 2 of this chapter may file a petition signed by at
least thirty (30) resident freeholders of the county with the county
auditor of the county requesting that the executive make an
appropriation provided for in section 2 of this chapter.
(b) The county auditor shall have the petition, without the
signatures, printed in a newspaper of general circulation that is
published in the county.
(c) The notice must state the date and time when the petition will be
considered by the executive. The auditor shall set the date, time, and
place at which the petition will be considered, which must be at least
thirty (30) days after the publication of the notice.
(d) If not later than the date and time published in the notice for the
consideration of the petition by the executive, a remonstrance signed
by more resident freeholders of the county than the number signing the
petition is filed with the county auditor protesting the allowance, the
executive shall consider the remonstrance. If the executive finds that
the remonstrance is signed by a greater number of resident freeholders
than the petition asking for an allowance, the executive:
(1) may not make an appropriation for the purposes set forth in
section 2 of this chapter; and
(2) shall dismiss the petition and take no further action.
(e) After final acceptance by the executive, a petition under this
section is effective for one (1) to five (5) years, as determined by the
executive.
