All expenses incurred shall, when approved by the Village, be paid out of the General Fund from moneys not otherwise appropriated.
(b) The Auditor shall make a written report to the County Auditor of the Board’s action under this section.

The expenses incurred, when allowed, shall be entered upon the tax duplicate, are a lien upon the land from the date of the entry, and shall be collected as other taxes and returned to the Village and placed in the General Fund.
