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.
