The District shall determine the exact extent and specifications for construction of structures or other improvements.

In the event that the proceeds of sale of the bonds, plus any other moneys of the District legally available, are insufficient to accomplish all of the capital improvements provided by this section, the District shall use the available funds for paying the cost of those improvements for which the bonds were approved deemed by the Board most necessary and to the best interest of the District. Section 3. Authorization of Bonds. For the purpose of providing part of the funds necessary to pay the cost of the improvements described in Section 2 hereof, together with incidental costs and costs related to the sale and issuance of the bonds, the District shall issue and sell its unlimited tax levy general obligation bonds in the principal amount of not to exceed $2,355,000. The balance of the cost of such improvements shall be paid out of any moneys which the District now has or may later have on hand which are legally available for such purposes and out of possible state or federal grants of money. None of said bond proceeds shall be used for the replacement of equipment or for any other than a capital purpose. Such bonds shall be issued in an amount not exceeding the amount approved by the qualified electors of the District as required by the Constitution and laws of the State of Washington or exceeding the amount permitted by the Constitution and laws of the State of Washington. Section 4. Details of Bonds.

Said bonds shall be general obligations of the District and, unless paid from other sources, both principal thereof and interest thereon shall be payable out of annual tax levies to be made upon all the taxable property within the District without limitation as to rate or amount and in excess of any constitutional or statutory tax limitations.
