The taxes so levied shall be in addition to all other taxes levied for county or city purposes and in addition to taxes levied pursuant to Section 4614.14 and shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as county taxes are collected. When such taxes are collected they shall be paid to the county treasurer who shall forthwith remit them to the city treasurer of the initiating city. The taxes are a lien on all taxable property in the district and shall be of the same force and effect as the lien for county taxes. Their collection shall be enforced by the same means as provided for the enforcement of the lien of county taxes. The city treasurer of the initiating city shall hold such taxes in trust, separate and apart from all other city funds and use and apply them solely to the payment of bond principal and interest.
