Before any part of the principal may be invested or used, the county, city, board of trustees of a city to whom the management of a municipal cemetery has been transferred by ordinance, or civil township shall, by resolution, accept the moneys described in section 566.14 and, by resolution, shall provide for the payment of interest annually to the appropriate fund, or to the cemetery association, or the person in charge of the cemetery, to be used in caring for or maintaining the individual property of the donor in the cemetery, or lots which have been sold if provision was made for perpetual care, all in accordance with the terms of the donation or bequest, or the terms of the sale or purchase of a cemetery lot.

If there is no cemetery association or person in charge of the cemetery, the income from the fund shall be expended under the direction of the board of supervisors, city council, board of trustees, or civil township trustees, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of the donation or bequest, or the terms of the sale or purchase of a cemetery lot.
