§ 145-10 — Issuance of bonds; terms

(a) If a majority of the votes cast on the question under Section 145-5 are in favor of the question, the township may issue bonds in denominations of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000 each, payable respectively in not less than one nor more than 20 years, with interest payable annually of not more than 6% per annum. The amount of the bonds issued shall not exceed 2.3% of the value of taxable property of the township as ascertained by the assessment for the State and county tax for the preceding year or, until January 1, 1983, if greater, the sum that is produced by multiplying the township's 1978 equalized assessed valuation by the debt limitation percentage in effect on January 1, 1979, nor shall the amount of the bonds exceed, including the then existing indebtedness of the township, 5.75% of the value of the taxable property of the township as ascertained by the assessment for the State and county tax for the preceding year. (b) If a majority of the legal voters voting on the proposition are in favor of the proposition, the supervisor and township clerk shall issue a sufficient amount, in the aggregate, of the bonds of the township for the purpose of building or purchasing, as the case may be, a township hall, not to exceed the amount voted upon under Section 145-5. The bonds shall not be sold or disposed of for less than their par value.
