A.
Except as provided in subsection B, if the council determines that the public convenience

consideration to do so. The council shall have the full discretion to commence proceedings
to make the change or new levy when deemed appropriate. The receipt of a petition

B.
The council shall not approve an ordinance of consideration to reduce the term of
a district, reduce the realization from a special tax, or terminate the levy of a
special tax if doing so will jeopardize the payment of debt service on bonds issued
for the district or impair the security for the bonds or violate any bond covenants.
C.
An ordinance of consideration for a district shall be an amendment of the ordinance
of formation for the district. The ordinance of consideration shall contain the pertinent
information required by section 3.75.410 .
