A majority of the freeholders in the proposed Sedgewood Community Special Tax District submitted a petition to the county council requesting that there be created a special tax district to define the boundaries of the district and the purposes for which it is created and to authorize the Sedgewood Community Tax District Commission to levy sufficient millage to have the street lights installed and maintained on all property located within the boundaries of the proposed district.

Members shall serve terms of three years or until their successors are duly appointed and qualified; except for the initial appointments one appointee from each county will serve terms of three years, one will serve terms of two years, and one jointly nominated and elected will serve a term of one year. All members of the commission shall reside within the geographical boundaries of the special tax district. Vacancies on the commission will be filled by the county council of their residence for the remainder of the unexpired term.

The auditor and tax collector of the county are directed to levy and collect a millage to have the streetlights installed and maintained on an annual basis on all taxable real property within the special tax district. All moneys collected from this tax levy shall be credited to the district.
