(B) The issuing authority shall issue obligations to pay costs of capital facilities pursuant to Section 2l of Article VIII, Ohio Constitution, section 151.01 of the Revised Code, and this section. The total principal amount of obligations outstanding at any one time shall not exceed two hundred million dollars, and not more than fifty million dollars in principal amount of obligations to pay costs of capital facilities may be issued in any fiscal year, all determined as provided in section 151.01 of the Revised Code and this section.
