§ 36-3-4-18 — City-county legislative body; ordinances and resolutions; permitted acts; special service district legislative body; powers

(a) The city-county legislative body may pass
ordinances and resolutions for the government of the consolidated city
and the county. The legislative body:
(1) alone may approve budgets, levy taxes, and make
appropriations for the consolidated city, its departments, and its
special taxing districts, except the appropriation of the proceeds
of the bonds of a special taxing district if the legislative body has
approved the bond issue;
(2) may make loans for the consolidated city under sections 21
and 22 of this chapter;
(3) alone may approve budgets, levy taxes, and make
appropriations for the county;
(4) may make loans for the county under IC 36-2-6-20;
(5) may pass ordinances prescribing a penalty or forfeiture for
violation;
(6) may establish committees having powers as prescribed by
ordinance; and
(7) may prescribe rules for its internal management.
(b) The special service district legislative body of any special
service district shall, with respect to such district, have exclusive power
by ordinance to approve its budget and make appropriations and tax
levies required to be made under the provisions of this title. No special
service district legislative body shall have authority to originate or
separately to adopt any other ordinance. However, any ordinance
adopted by the city-county legislative body relating solely or
exclusively to a special service district shall be suspended and of no
effect until separately approved and concurred in by a majority of a
special service district legislative body when, but only when, the
Constitution of the United States or the Constitution of Indiana
prohibits such taking effect without such approval.
