In case a new district has been formed, no such referendum shall be held unless the new district embraces territory having as much or more assessed valuation as the territory embraced in the district at the first referendum.
Where bonds are issued by any district under Sections 3A-1 through 3A-4, and it is determined by the board by resolution that it is in the interests of the district that part or all of the proceeds of the bonds be used for different purposes than authorized but for purposes for which bonds may be issued under Sections 3A-1 through 3A-4, the board shall order a referendum in the manner provided in the general election law to vote on the proposition of authorizing the board to use the proceeds of such bonds or a part thereof for the purposes set forth in such resolution. The board shall certify the proposition to the proper election authorities for submission to the electors. If a majority of all the votes cast on such proposition is in favor the board shall have such authority.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, when bonds are issued by any district under Sections 3A-1 through 3A-4 and the purposes for which such bonds have been issued have been accomplished and paid for in full and there remains funds on hand in such bond and interest account, the board by resolution may transfer such excess to the fund of the district which bears the nearest relation to the purpose for which the bonds from which such excess funds arose were issued.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, when bonds have been issued by a district under Sections 3A-1 through 3A-4 and the board of trustees of the district has determined that a site acquired with the proceeds of such bond issue without the use of State funds has become unnecessary, unsuitable or inconvenient for community college purposes and has sold such site in accordance with the provisions of Section 3-41 of this Act, the board shall first use the proceeds from the sale of such site to pay the portion of the principal originally expended to purchase such site, together with the interest thereon, and may use the remaining proceeds from such sale for the purpose for which the bonds were issued or to retire other bonds of the same issue. Such remaining proceeds may also be used for any other authorized purpose designated in a resolution approved by not less than 5 members of the board of trustees. The board of trustees shall cause notice of any such resolution and of the right to petition for an election under this Section to be published within 10 days after the adoption of the resolution in a newspaper having a general circulation in the district. The publication of the resolution shall include a notice of (1) the specific number of voters required to sign a petition requesting that the question of the other authorized use of the remaining proceeds be submitted to the voters of the district; (2) the time within which the petition must be filed; and (3) the date of the prospective referendum. The district secretary shall provide a petition form to any individual requesting one. If 10% or 1000, whichever is less, of the resident voters of the district sign and file a petition with the board, not more than 30 days after the resolution of the board is adopted, requesting that the question of such other authorized use designated in the resolution of the remaining proceeds be submitted to the voters of the community college district, the board shall call an election upon such question, to be held not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days after the filing of the petition and to be conducted as provided in Article III. The remaining proceeds may be used for the designated purpose only if a majority of those voting on the question approve such use.
