shall be subject to general reassessment according to the
following schedule:

(2) The second assessment district shall be subject | to general reassessment in 1998 and every 3 years thereafter. |
(3) The third assessment district shall be subject to | general reassessment in 1996 and every 3 years thereafter. |
The boundaries of the 3 assessment districts are as follows: (i) the first
assessment district shall be that portion of the county located within the
boundaries of a municipality with 1,000,000 or more inhabitants, (ii) the
second assessment district shall be that portion of the county that lies north
of State Route 64 (North
Avenue) and outside the boundaries of a municipality with 1,000,000 or more
inhabitants, and (iii) the third assessment district shall be that portion of
