  1.9   law or ordinance, if approved by the voters of the city at the 
  1.10  next general election held after the date of final enactment of 
  1.11  this act, the city of Beaver Bay may impose by ordinance a sales

  1.15  administration, collection, and enforcement of the tax 
  1.16  authorized under this subdivision. 
  1.17     Subd. 2.  [USE OF REVENUES.] The revenues received from 
  1.18  taxes authorized by subdivision 1 must be used to pay the bonded

  2.3   funds remaining after completion of the projects may be placed
