§ 36-9-4-44 — Issuance of bonds by corporation; procedure

(a) If the board of directors of a public
transportation corporation decides to issue bonds to obtain all or part
of the money to be expended for the establishment and maintenance of
an urban mass transportation system under this chapter, the board shall
adopt an ordinance directing the issuance of the bonds. The board shall
certify a copy of the ordinance to the controller of the corporation, who
shall then prepare the bonds.
(b) The bonds must be executed by the chair of the board and
attested by the controller of the corporation.
(c) The controller is responsible for the sale of the bonds.
(d) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the bonds shall be
issued in the same manner as bonds for the general purposes of the
municipality served by the public transportation corporation. However,
the bonds may be sold to the federal government at private sale and
without a public offering.
(e) In addition to the general power to issue bonds for the
establishment and maintenance of a system, the board may issue bonds
specifically:
(1) for the payment of any judgment against the corporation; and
(2) to establish or maintain a program of self-insurance or mutual
insurance.
