No such bonds shall be issued until authorized by resolution specifying the purpose for which the funds are to be used and the proposed undertaking, the amount of bonds to be issued and the maximum rate of interest the bonds are to bear. The resolution shall further provide that the sanitary works, appurtenances or extensions are to be acquired pursuant to the provisions of KRS 220.010 to 220.520.
