The council shall levy the tax upon the assessed valuation of all taxable property in the district, in the same manner, at the same time and in addition to other taxes levied by the council.  4. A special election may be held only if the council determines, by a unanimous vote, that an emergency exists. The determination made by the council is conclusive unless it is shown that the council acted with fraud or a gross abuse of discretion.

As used in this subsection, "emergency" means any unexpected occurrence or combination of occurrences which requires immediate action by the council to prevent or mitigate a substantial financial loss to the district or city or to enable the governing body to provide an essential service to the residents of the city.
