Text

(a) Subject to section 6.5 of this chapter, the
executive and legislative body, on behalf of the township, may also
borrow the necessary money from a financial institution in Indiana to
make the purchase on the same terms. They shall, on behalf of the
township, execute and deliver to the institution the negotiable note or
bond of the township for the sum borrowed. The note or bond must
bear interest, with both principal and interest payable in equal or
approximately equal installments on January 1 and July 1 each year
over a period not exceeding six (6) years.
(b) The first installment of principal and interest on a contract,
chattel mortgage, note, or bond is due on the next January 1 or July 1
following the first tax collection for which it is possible for the
township to levy a tax. The executive and legislative body shall
appropriate and levy a tax each year sufficient to pay the obligation
according to its terms. An obligation of the township executed under
this chapter is a valid and binding obligation of the township,
notwithstanding any tax limitation, debt limitation, bonding, borrowing,
or other statute to the contrary.
