SECTION 4. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That the net proceeds of the
sale of bonds shall be used and applied exclusively and solely for the acquisition,
construction, improvement, or development of public facilities for which the bonds are
sold. If the amounts borrowed shall prove inadequate to finance the projects described in
the resolution, the County may issue additional bonds with the limitations hereof for the
purpose of evidencing the borrowing of additional funds for such financing, provided the
resolution authorizing the sale of additional bonds shall so recite, but if the net proceeds
of the sale of any issue of bonds exceeds the amount needed to finance the projects
described in the resolution, the excess funds so borrowed and not expended shall be

the event the proceeds from the taxes so levied in any such fiscal year shall prove
inadequate for such payment, additional taxes shall be levied in the succeeding fiscal year
