Sec. 12. (a) For the purpose of raising money to pay all bonds issued under section 9 of this chapter and any interest on them, the legislative body may levy each year a special tax upon all of the property located within the district, in such manner as to meet and pay the principal of the bonds as they severally mature, together with all accruing interest on them. Other revenues and funds may be annually allocated by statute or ordinance to be applied to reduction of the bonds and their interest for the next succeeding year, but to the extent that monies on hand are insufficient for payments required in the next succeeding year, the special tax shall be levied.

     (b) The tax so collected, and all other allocated monies, shall be accumulated and kept in a separate fund to be known as the “Metropolitan Thoroughfare District Bond Fund”, and shall be applied to the payment of the district bonds and interest as they severally mature, and to no other purposes. All accumulations may be deposited, at interest, with one (1) of the depositories of other funds of the consolidated city, and all interest collected belongs to the fund.

As added by Acts 1982, P.L.77, SEC.12.
