Text

(a) The legislative body of a city may, upon
the recommendation of the mayor and city controller, if applicable, of
the city, instead of selling bonds as provided in section 5 of this
chapter, sell bonds:
(1) with a maturity of not more than ten (10) years;
(2) for any of the purposes authorized by this chapter;
(3) at a rate of interest not more than six percent (6%) a year,
payable semiannually; and
(4) payable at their maturity, but not later than ten (10) years after
the date of the issuance of the bonds.
If the bonds are issued for a period longer than five (5) years, at least
two percent (2%) of the total issue of the bonds must mature each year
after the fifth year, and the balance must mature and be paid or
refunded not later than ten (10) years after the date of issuance.
(b) Bonds issued under this section, the taxes to pay the bonds as
they mature, and interest accruing on the bonds must be levied in
accordance with sections 5 and 6 of this chapter.
(c) The city's legislative body may refund bonds sold under this
section with other bond issues in accordance with section 5 and other
provisions of this chapter relating to the sale of bonds. The city's
legislative body may name the date when the first series of refunding
bonds is due. However, the due date of the first series due may not be
more than five (5) years from the date of issue.
