(b) In order to provide for the payment of the debt service requirements on the Bonds, being (i) the interest on the Bonds, and (ii) a sinking fund for their payment at maturity or a sinking fund of two percent per annum (whichever amount is the greater), there is hereby levied for the current year and each succeeding year thereafter, while the Bonds or interest thereon remain outstanding and unpaid, an ad valorem tax on each one hundred dollars valuation of taxable property within the City at a rate sufficient, within the limit prescribed by law, to pay such debt service requirements, full allowance being made for delinquencies and costs of collection.
