§ 5.
From and after the Notes have been issued as provided for by this Act, while the Notes are outstanding, it shall be the duty of the county clerk, in computing the tax rate for the specific funds for which Notes authorized by this Act were issued, to reduce the rate for such specific fund by the percent necessary to produce an amount to pay the principal, interest thereon and costs of issuance thereof on the Notes authorized by this Act for said specific fund. Whenever the Unit of Government has established a working cash fund, as provided by law, the tax rate shall not be reduced below the amount necessary to reimburse any money borrowed from the working cash fund. It shall be the duty of the Clerk, or Secretary of the Unit of Government annually, not less than thirty days prior to the tax extension date, to certify to the County Clerk the amount of money borrowed from the working cash fund to be reimbursed from the specific tax levy. No reimbursement shall be made to the working cash fund until there has been accumulated from the tax levy to pay the Notes in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes to maturity. At such time as there are no Notes outstanding, all proceeds of such levy shall be applied for the specific purpose or purposes for which the Notes were issued. (Source: P.A. 84-953.)
