     365A.08 Financing. 

    Upon adoption of the next annual budget following the 
 creation of a subordinate service district the town board shall 
 include in the budget appropriate provisions for the operation 
 of the district including either a property tax levied only on 
 property of the users of the service within the boundaries of 
 the district or a levy of a service charge against the users of 
 the service within the district, or a combination of a property 
 tax and a service charge on the users of the service.  

    A tax or service charge or a combination of them may be 
 imposed to finance a function or service in the district that 
 the town ordinarily provides throughout the town only to the 
 extent that there is an increase in the level of the function or 
 service provided in the service district over that provided 
 throughout the town.  In that case, in addition to the townwide 
 tax levy, an amount necessary to pay for the increase in the 
 level of the function or service may be imposed in the district.
