Subject to such limitation, successive borrowings may be made under this article.

B. In computing the annual interest requirements of bonds described in section 11-377, subsection F the board of supervisors shall determine a rate that is not more than the maximum rate permitted under the terms of their issuance. In making the determination, the board of supervisors shall set a rate that is not less than one hundred twenty-five per cent of the rate in effect on the date of determination or, if the bonds are not then issued, one hundred twenty-five per cent of the initial rate on the bonds, except that if this determination exceeds the maximum rate permitted under the terms of issuance, the rate shall be the maximum rate. Notwithstanding the provisions of any reimbursement obligation, the bonds remain outstanding until the stated maturity of the bonds.
