When any housing authority created for any municipality becomes authorized to transact business and exercise its powers therein, the governing body of such municipality shall immediately have the power to make an estimate of the amount of money necessary for the administrative expenses and overhead of such housing authority during the first year thereafter and to appropriate such amount to the authority out of any moneys in the treasury of such municipality not appropriated for other purposes. The moneys so appropriated shall be paid to the authority as a donation. Any municipality located within the area of operation of a housing authority shall have the power to lend money or donate money or real estate, improved or unimproved, from time to time, to the authority for any of the authority's purposes, or to agree to take such action. To obtain funds for the temporary and definitive financing of any housing project, a municipality may, in addition to other action authorized under this chapter or other law, issue and sell its temporary notes, bonds or other obligations. Such temporary notes shall be issued for a period of not more than three years but notes issued for a shorter period of time may be renewed by the issue of other notes, provided the period from the date of the original note to the maturity of the last notes issued in renewal thereof shall not exceed three years, and the provisions of section 7-373 shall be deemed to apply thereto. Any such bonds or other obligations issued by a municipality pursuant to this section shall be in accordance with such statutory and other legal requirements as govern the issuance of obligations generally by the municipality except that such bonds may remain outstanding for up to forty years and may provide for payment of principal and interest in substantially equal annual installments. The housing authority, when it has money available therefor, shall make reimbursements for all advances made to it by way of loans pursuant to the terms of an agreement or agreements between it and the municipality.
