(a) In its annual budget, the board of directors may establish a restricted reserve for capital outlay and a restricted reserve for contingencies. When the board of directors establishes a restricted reserve, it shall declare the exclusive purposes for which the funds in the reserve may be spent. The funds in the restricted reserve shall be spent only for the exclusive purposes for which the board of directors established the restricted reserve. The reserves shall be maintained according to generally accepted accounting principles.
(b) Any time after the establishment of a restricted reserve, the board of directors may transfer any funds to that restricted reserve.
(c) If the board of directors finds that the funds in a restricted reserve are no longer required for the purpose for which the restricted reserve was established, the board of directors may, by a four-fifths vote of the total membership of the board of directors, discontinue the restricted reserve or transfer any funds that are no longer required from the restricted reserve to the district’s general fund.
