If the flood control board finds that:

1. (1) it is necessary to replace, enlarge, or extend any part of the flood control works or construct additional works in order to protect the district properly; and

2. (2) the cost of the replacement, enlargement, extension, or construction will exceed the amount then available out of current maintenance and repair funds;

   the board may issue bonds under section 23 of this chapter for that purpose. However, the board must first comply with sections 18, 19, and 20 of this chapter.
