The ballot shall be printed to permit voting for or against the proposition: "The issuance of bonds in the amount of $__________ payable wholly (or partially) from property taxes for (STATE PURPOSE FOR WHICH BOND PROCEEDS TO BE USED) and the levy of taxes in payment of those bonds." If a majority of the voters at the election approve the bond proposition, the board shall declare the result and enter it in its minutes, and the district, if its creation is confirmed, may issue the bonds in the amount authorized for the purpose authorized and may levy and collect taxes necessary to pay the principal of and interest on the bonds.
