9-21-17. Judgment against municipality--Borrowing--Maximum tax levy to pay judgment.
If any judgment is obtained against the municipality, it may borrow for a space of time not exceeding the close of the fiscal year a sum sufficient to pay the judgment, if a tax levy of ten dollars per thousand dollars of taxable valuation of the municipality will be sufficient to pay all judgments subsisting and final at the time of making the levy. No tax levy greater than ten dollars per thousand dollars of taxable valuation of any municipality, may be made in any one year for the payment of a judgment or judgments. If a levy of ten dollars per thousand dollars of taxable valuation per year on such valuation will be insufficient to pay any final judgment within ten years from the date it becomes final in a municipality with a population in excess of five hundred, a tax levy may be made of any amount sufficient to pay every judgment and the interest thereon in ten equal installments within ten years from the date it becomes final. In a municipality with a population of five hundred or less a tax levy of ten dollars per thousand dollars of taxable valuation of such municipality may be made for the payment of the judgment and the interest thereon. However, the levy may not be made for a period in excess of nineteen years for the purpose of payment of any one judgment.
