However, a by-law adopted by the council of a local municipality and ordering a loan for the purpose of capital expenditures may mention the object of the by-law only in general terms and indicate only the amount and maximum term of the loan if the following conditions are met:(1) the by-law prescribes, for repayment of the loan, the annual appropriation of a portion of the general revenues of the municipality or the imposition of a tax based on the municipal valuation on all taxable immovables in the territory of the municipality; and
(2) the total amount of the loans ordered by the municipality during the fiscal year, under a by-law made under this paragraph, does not exceed the higher of $100,000 and the amount equivalent to 0.25% of the standardized property value of the municipality as determined under Division I of Chapter XVIII.1 of the Act respecting municipal taxation (chapter F‐2.1), according to the most recent summary of the assessment roll produced before the fiscal year. For the purposes of subparagraph 2 of the second paragraph, the total amount of the loans ordered by the municipality is deemed to exceed the maximum amount provided for in that paragraph on the adoption of a loan by-law that would cause the total amount to exceed that maximum amount if it came into force.
