1201(b), and acquiring a site or sites as the trustees may

(b) If there are no funds available to the trustees of a
rural health care district before receipt of property taxes, the
trustees may issue warrants in anticipation of the receipt of
property taxes for payment of operational expenses. The
aggregate amount of the warrants shall not exceed the total
amount of taxes levied. The warrants shall be payable solely
from the collected taxes.
(c) The trustees of a rural health care district may
obtain financing for its operations by entering into agreements
for lines of credit with any financial institution as defined in

the notes are issued when the trustees determine that
insufficient funds are available to meet the obligations of the
district during any fiscal year. A rural health care district
shall not enter into agreements or issue instruments of the type
allowed by this section for any fiscal year until all debts
financed by any agreement or instrument for any prior fiscal
year have been paid in full. Tax and revenue anticipation notes
issued under this subsection are subject to the procedural
requirements of W.S. 9-4-1103 through 9-4-1105 for state tax and
