The board of commissioners of the Johnson county park and recreation district is hereby authorized to contract in the name of the district with any agency or instrumentality of the United States for furnishing, constructing, equipping, operating, managing or maintaining recreational areas and facilities on or around any federal reservoir, all or any part of which is located within the boundaries of said district. Said board may obligate the district for the reimbursement of any such federal agency or instrumentality for obligations incurred pursuant to such contract, but not to exceed an amount equal to 15% of the assessed valuation of the tangible property within the district, plus any interest thereon not exceeding the maximum rate of interest prescribed by K.S.A. 10-1009, and amendments thereto. Such contract for reimbursement may extend over such period of years as is permissible under applicable federal laws and regulations and as shall be agreed to by the board of commissioners, but not to exceed 50 years. For the purpose of financing such reimbursement, said board of commissioners is hereby authorized to levy an annual tax of not to exceed two mills on all the taxable tangible property of the district during the period of said reimbursement contract, if the levy of such tax has been approved by the electors of the district in the manner provided in K.S.A. 19-2881b, and amendments thereto. The powers granted to the board by this section may be exercised in addition to or in conjunction with any other powers vested in the board pursuant to law.
