general welfare of the unit proposing to issue the bonds, or the
unit where the facilities are to be located, or both; and

the commission shall, by resolution, approve the financing, including
the form and terms of the financing agreement, the bonds and the trust
indenture (if any). The secretary of the commission shall transmit the
resolution to the fiscal body of the unit proposing to issue the bonds.
