B. The board of directors shall determine the amount of the assessment each year as follows:
1. Determine the valuation of each parcel of Arizona board of regents' property in the same manner as is used by the county assessor to determine the valuation of similar property in the county.

On the petition of a prime lessee, the board of directors shall meet with the petitioner to resolve any disagreement on the amount of the valuation.

C. The district treasurer shall collect the assessment from the prime lessee. The district treasurer shall deposit the net revenues from the assessment in the district fund to be used for the purposes allowed by this chapter.
D. The board of directors may pledge all or part of the assessment revenues to secure district bonds or financial obligations under this chapter. The board of directors must continue to impose and collect the assessment in an amount that is at least adequate for all debt service requirements of the district under this chapter.
