Annual tax.
The county board of any such county shall

working cash fund shall never exceed $20,000,000. The collection of any
such tax shall not be anticipated by the issuance of any warrants drawn
against the same. Such tax shall be levied and collected, except as

addition to the maximum of all other taxes and tax rates which such
county is now, or may hereafter be, authorized by law to levy upon the
aggregate valuation of all taxable property within such county. The tax
may be levied by separate resolution on or before the 3rd Tuesday in
September in each year, for the purpose herein authorized, without any
appropriation thereof being made in the resolution termed the annual
appropriations bill, or otherwise.
