     A special election may be called and the time therefor fixed by the county legislative authority, or council, board of commissioners, or other governing body of any ((metropolitan park district, park and recreation service area, park and recreation district, sewer district, water district, solid waste disposal district, public facilities district, flood control zone district, county rail district, service district, public hospital district, road district, rural county library district, island library district, intercounty rural library district, fire protection district, cemetery district, transportation benefit district, city, town, or cultural arts, stadium, and convention district)) such taxing district, by giving notice thereof by publication in the manner provided by law for giving notices of general elections, at which special election the proposition authorizing such excess levy shall be submitted in such form as to enable the voters favoring the proposition to vote "yes" and those opposed thereto to vote "no."
