The legislative body may by resolution provide for a sum to be paid annually by the commission to the city. This sum shall not exceed the amount the commission would be required to pay in ad valorem taxes if it were a private entity owning the same property and shall not be paid from any funds needed for current operation, maintenance, debt service, or repairs or for compliance with any other provisions of indentures securing obligations of the commission.
