additional office space, educational facilities, nonsecure juvenile
facilities, and other county functions, including the repayment of
bonds issued, or leases entered into, for constructing, acquiring,
renovating, and equipping the county courthouse and renovating
the former county hospital for additional office space, educational
facilities, nonsecure juvenile facilities, and other county functions.
(d) If the county council makes a determination under
subsection (c), the county council may adopt a tax rate under
subsection (b). The tax rate may not be imposed at a rate or for a
time greater than is necessary to pay the costs of financing,
