certain levee districts in St. Louis County and would have no fiscal impact
to state funds. Oversight also assumes there would be no local fiscal impact.

DESCRIPTION
Currently, voting in an alternative levee district within a levee district
with at least $25 million assessed valuation in St. Louis County must be
based on a per assessed valuation formula. This act changes the voting
rights formula and the apportionment of installment taxes.
Voting would be based on one vote per $10,000 of assessed benefits, rounded
down. Property owners with assessed benefits of less than $10,000 would be
entitled to one vote.
After a petition to adjust the assessment of benefits, the board of
supervisors of the levy district would reapportion and levy on each tract of
property in proportion to the adjusted assessment of benefits.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other
program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental
space.
