B. The call for the election shall set forth the aggregate amount of the bonds, the maximum rate of interest to be paid thereon, the minimum and maximum number of years bonds of any issue or series may run from their date, the purposes for which the money derived from the sale of the bonds will be expended, the current outstanding general obligation debt and the constitutional debt limitation of the political subdivision.

C. Bonds of any issue or series of bonds voted under this section may run for any number of years not exceeding the longest period permitted by the voted proposition.
