Commissioners has recommended to the City Council, for the Fiscal Year
2004-2005, the levy of a maintenance tax of fifty cents ($.50) on each hundred
dollars of the assessed value upon real estate not exempted by law from
taxation herein imposed, exclusive of buildings and improvements thereon, in
the WEST PARK DISTRICT, in Kansas City, Missouri, and that the maintenance tax
be levied according to the valuation and assessment of real estate in the West
PARK DISTRICT for the Fiscal Year 2004-2005.
Section 2. That
for the purpose of maintaining, adorning, constructing, repairing and otherwise
improving the parks, parkways, boulevards, roads and grounds located in the
WEST PARK DISTRICT in Kansas City, Missouri under the control and management of
the Board of Parks and Recreation Commissioners, a maintenance tax of fifty
cents ($.50) on each hundred dollars of the assessed value upon real estate not
exempted by law from taxation herein imposed, exclusive of buildings and
improvements thereon, in the WEST PARK DISTRICT, in Kansas City, Missouri, is
hereby levied according to the valuation and assessment of real estate in the
WEST PARK DISTRICT for the Fiscal Year 2004-2005, pursuant to Section 60 of
Article III of the Charter of Kansas City.
Section 3. The
maintenance tax hereby levied shall be entered and extended by the Commissioner
of Accounts against each tract or parcel of land in the WEST PARK DISTRICT
liable for the tax, and shall be a lien thereon from the effective date of this
ordinance and shall be payable and collectible in the same manner and at the
same time, as far as practicable, as is provided by the
Charter and ordinances for
entering, extending and collecting of general City taxes on that real
property. The maintenance tax hereby levied shall become delinquent at the
same time, and when delinquent shall bear the same rate of interest and be
subject to the same penalties as provided by the Charter and ordinances in the
case of delinquent general City taxes.

laws and ordinances governing the entering, extending, payment, collection and
the sale for nonpayment of general taxes of the City, shall, as far as
practicable, apply to the maintenance tax hereby levied, provided that if a

the manner prescribed by Section 383, Article XII, of the City Charter, except
in the case of such suit, the amount of said assessment and the description
thereof shall be evidenced by certificate of the City Treasurer, instead of by
special tax bill.

equalized assessments and the extension, billing and collection thereof shall
be effected in the same manner as that of the general City taxes, anything to
the contrary herein notwithstanding.

taxes levied and collected under this ordinance, and to deposit the moneys collected
in the banks or banking institutions of the City having a contract with the
City for deposit and safekeeping of the funds of Kansas City, pursuant to the
Charter and ordinances of Kansas City; and all interest on the moneys collected
under this ordinance and deposited, if any, paid to the City shall be credited
to and become a part of the maintenance tax fund and shall be used for the same
purposes for which this assessment is made.
