(1) by majority vote borrow money to satisfy the obligations in an amount not to exceed, at any one time in the aggregate, 10 percent of the annual district operational expenses for the prior fiscal year; and
(2) by unanimous vote borrow additional money if the obligations exceed the amount described by Subdivision (1).
(b) To secure a loan, the board may pledge:
