Sec. 37. (a) The county fiscal body shall annually levy a tax sufficient to produce funds that, with other funds available, are sufficient to pay the lease rental provided to be paid from taxes.
(b) If the lease rental is payable from taxes, net revenues of the hospital of which the leased buildings are a part that are not required to be kept in reserve for additional construction, equipment, betterment, maintenance, or operation shall be transferred to a fund for the payment of the lease rental. To the extent that the transferred funds are insufficient to pay the lease rental, cumulative building funds reserved for lease rental payable from taxes under section 20 of this chapter shall be transferred.
(c) In fixing and determining the necessary levy to pay lease rentals payable from taxes, the county council shall consider the amounts transferred from the net revenues of the hospital and may appropriate and pay funds from any available sources, including revenues derived under IC 6-3.6. This subsection does not relieve the county from the obligation to pay from taxes any lease rental payable from taxes if other funds are not available. The tax levies are reviewable by other bodies vested by law with the authority to ascertain that the levies are sufficient to meet the rental under the lease contract that is payable from taxes. The lease rental shall be paid semiannually to the authority.
(d) A lease by the authority to the county may not provide for rentals payable from the levy of a tax by a county unless the lease is approved by a majority vote of the county fiscal body.
