For purposes of this paragraph, “contiguous cities” means two or more cities with shared borders. (2) The entire unincorporated area of the district shall either be wholly included within that portion or wholly excluded from that portion. (c) The proceeds of the property tax shall be used to provide, within the areas taxed, for the improvement or acquisition of any real property needed for transportation purposes.
