Agreements concluded under R.S. 33:1324 and all written agreements concluded under R.S. 33:1325 shall include a statement of the financial obligations of each of the parties to the agreement. Any parish or municipality may appropriate such sums, issue its bonds, as defined in R.S. 33:1321, or levy any special taxes, except income taxes, in the manner provided by law, for any public project or improvement, as defined in R.S. 33:1324(4), to raise such sums as are necessary to fulfill its obligations under the terms of any agreements authorized by this part, including its obligations incurred in connection with the issuance of its bonds or other obligations issued under the authority of this part, and may charge and collect such fees, fares and tolls as are contemplated in said agreements. In furtherance hereof, each such municipality, parish or political subdivision may levy and collect such special taxes, except income taxes, as are not prohibited by the constitution of the state in effect at the time of such tax levy, including, but not limited to, ad valorem, license or excise taxes. Such taxes shall be for the sole purpose of enabling the municipality, parish or political subdivision to meet its financial obligations under the agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1325.
