    or other notes or other evidence of indebtedness or substantially affect any obligations
    under long-term contracts of the District then outstanding or in effect, or the rights
    of the District to procure the means for payment, continuation, or termination thereof.
    If the amendment is adopted by the Board of Supervisors or by the voters of the District,
    the Clerk of the District, within 10 days after the vote of adoption, shall certify
    to the Secretary of State each proposal of amendment showing the facts as to its origin
