(2) the lease or sublease contract or the loan agreement provides that a portion of the lease or loan payment is to be paid from taxes.

(b) The county council or the city-county council in the case of a county with a consolidated city shall annually levy a tax that is sufficient to produce each year along with other available funds an amount that is sufficient to pay the portion of the lease or loan payment that is required to be paid from taxes.

(c) The board shall transfer the following to a fund to be used to pay the portion of the lease or loan payment that is not required to be paid from taxes:

(1) Any net revenue of the hospital that is required to be used for the lease or loan payment.

(2) Any net revenue of the hospital that is required to be retained as a reserve for a purpose that the board determines if the board determines that the money is not needed in reserve for additional construction, equipment, betterment, maintenance, or operation.

(d) In fixing and determining the levy that is necessary for the lease or loan payment that is payable from taxes, the county council shall consider the amounts that have been transferred from the net revenues of the hospital under subsection (c).

(f) The tax levy provided in this section is reviewable in the manner that other tax levies are reviewable to ascertain that the levy is sufficient to produce the amount of the lease or loan payment that is required to be paid from taxes.
