service, or facility, including the establishment of a separate legal entity to do so.

(5) Any separate legal entity formed pursuant to the provisions of this part 2
may make loans to any government which enters into any contract pursuant to the
provisions of this section, which loans may be secured by loan and security
agreements, leases, or any other instruments upon such terms and conditions,
including, without limitation, the terms and conditions authorized by section 31-35-402 (1)(h), C.R.S., as the board of directors of such intergovernmental entity shall
determine.
