Before issuing bonds under section1711.28of the Revised Code, the board of county commissioners, by resolution, shall submit to the qualified electors of the county at the next general election for county officers, held not less than ninety days after receiving from the county agricultural society the notice provided for in section1711.25of the Revised Code, the question of issuing and selling such bonds in such amount and denomination as are necessary for the purpose in view, and shall certify a copy of such resolution to the county board of elections.

The county board of elections shall place the question of issuing and selling such bonds upon the ballot and make all other necessary arrangements for the submission, at the time fixed by such resolution, of such question to such electors. The votes cast at such election upon such question must be counted, canvassed, and certified in the same manner, except as provided by law, as votes cast for county officers. Fifteen days' notice of such submission shall be given by the county board of elections, by publication once a week for two consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the county or as provided in section7.16of the Revised Code, stating the amount of bonds to be issued, the purpose for which they are to be issued, and the time and places of holding such election. If the resolution proposes the levy of a tax under section1711.29of the Revised Code, the notice shall include the rate of the tax in both mills for each one dollar of taxable value and in dollars for each one hundred thousand dollars of the county auditor's market value.

The question must be stated on the ballot as follows: "For the issue of county fair bonds, yes"; "For the issue of county fair bonds, no."

If the resolution proposes the levy of a tax under section1711.29of the Revised Code, the question appearing on the ballot shall include the rate of the tax in both mills for each one dollar of taxable value and in dollars for each one hundred thousand dollars of the county auditor's market value.

If the majority of those voting upon the question of issuing the bonds vote in favor thereof, then and only then shall they be issued and the tax provided for in section1711.29of the Revised Code be levied.

As used in this section, "the county auditor's market value" has the same meaning as in section5705.01of the Revised Code.
