The district shall not incur a bonded indebtedness for the purposes authorized by this section exceeding 1 percent of the assessed value of all the taxable property in the district, and no bonded indebtedness shall be incurred except for capital outlay purposes. The district shall not exercise any powers under this section unless the exercise of those powers is approved by the voters of the district at an election held within the district at which a majority of the voters voting on the proposition approve the exercise of those powers. The election may be consolidated with any other election held within the district. If a majority of the votes cast at the election is in favor of the proposition, the county elections official shall immediately cause to be filed with the Secretary of State a certificate reciting that fact. If the voters of the district do not approve the exercise of any of those powers at an election held prior to January 1, 1974, this section shall become inoperative on that date and shall have no further force or effect.
