If said bonds are issued after the work is completed, such bonds shall not exceed in the aggregate the total cost of the improvements.
(b) The governing body of such municipality may pledge as security for such bonds the proceeds of the assessments made or to be made against the property benefited and may transfer and assign for the benefit of the bondholders the lien of the municipality thereon with power to enforce the same. The making of one loan or the issue of one series of bonds shall not exhaust the power of the municipality to provide sufficient funds for the completion of the improvement.
(c) No irregularities or technical defects in the proceedings relating to the making of the improvements shall prevent the issue of bonds under subsection (a) of this section.
