The legislative body of the city and the fiscal officer of the city shall certify the taxes levied each year to the auditor of the county in which the city is located or other proper officer not later than the first Monday of September in each year or at the time of the certification of the city's annual tax levy.

All money collected for the payment of the bonds and the interest accruing on the bonds shall be deposited at interest with one (1) or more of the depositories as other public funds of the city. All interest collected becomes a part of the fund.
