    Sec. 13.8. In the preparation of the annual appropriation
ordinance, an amount not to exceed 0.02% of the equalized
assessed value of property subject to taxation by the district
may be accumulated in a separate fund for the purpose of

which moneys from the Capital Improvement, Repair, or
Replacement Fund were used, then any funds no longer necessary
for capital improvement, repair, or replacement shall be
transferred into the general corporate fund of the district on
the first day of the fiscal year following the abandonment or
completion of the object or the discovery of the surplus funds.
