thereof. The boundaries of such district shall include the territory
receiving ambulance service provided by the county on the date of the
adoption of the resolution creating such district. The board of county
commissioners shall be the governing body of the district and shall have
the authority, powers and duties granted to boards of county commissioners

hereinafter authorized. The provisions of this act shall govern the
operation of ambulances providing services within districts established
under the provisions of this section. The governing body of each ambulance
service taxing district is hereby authorized to levy an annual tax upon all
taxable tangible property in such district in accordance with the
