Section 45-42-162.04 - Service districts.

(a) A general services district shall include the entire area of Limestone County. Any service or function which is now or in the future assigned by state law to county government shall be performed in the general services district.

(b) Urban service districts shall be formed from each city in the consolidation, and such additional area as may be specified by the metropolitan commission. Services to be provided in these districts are those generally provided, or authorized to be provided by general statutes which apply to municipalities in the State of Alabama.

(c) Service district services shall be financed from revenues collected within the district or from revenues which are otherwise secured for such services.

(d) The boundaries of the service districts may be changed by the commission whenever the commission determines that a particular area of the metropolitan-government needs services of the kind and extent provided by another service district and the metropolitan-government is able to provide such services. Where the urban service district boundaries are extended, a plan for provision of services shall become a part of the resolution.
