(1) Any revenue actually received during the current year.
(2) Other money not obligated to paying or protecting the bonds or notes of the district.
(b) The board shall carry forward the balance after making the deduction required by subsection (a).

To this amount the board shall add five percent (5%) in the first year the board meets with bonds outstanding to provide for contingencies. After that time and until all bonds are retired, the board shall add the necessary amount to maintain a five percent (5%) contingency reserve.
(d) If the board has been forced to borrow money for a short term for a legitimate purpose, the board shall also determine the amount of principal and interest due on the loan.
(e) The board shall then total the balance.
(f) From the assessment roll, the board shall then determine the amount of unpaid installments due in the next year on assessments that have been made and deduct this from the total. The board shall then determine the necessary levy of the special benefits tax to provide money to meet the expenses thus calculated.
(g) After review by the department of local government finance as provided in section 1 of this chapter, the board of directors shall certify to the auditor of each county for collection the levy of the tax and the installment of any assessment.
