The resolution  shall set forth facts demonstrating the need for the  borrowing or line of credit, state the amount to be borrowed,  establish a maximum interest rate limit not to exceed that  set forth in subsection (b) of this Section, and provide a  date by which the borrowed funds shall be repaid. The  resolution shall direct the relevant officials to make arrangements to  set apart and hold the taxes or other revenue, as received,  that will be used to repay the borrowing. In addition, the  resolution may authorize the relevant officials to make  partial repayments of the borrowing as the taxes or other revenues become  available and may contain any other terms, restrictions, or  limitations not inconsistent with the provisions of this  Section.
