may be issued - Payment of bonds.
Any district having outstanding special assessment bonds, payable in whole or in part out of
collections from special assessments, which are past due or which are redeemable, either at the
option of the district or with the consent of the bondholders, may issue refunding special
assessment bonds if there is not sufficient money in the project fund against which such bonds
are drawn to pay the same. The issuance of refunding bonds must be authorized by resolution
of the district board. The resolution must describe the bonds to be refunded and their amount
and maturity. Refunding bonds may be issued for any of the following purposes:
1. To extend the maturities of bonds payable in whole or in part by special assessments.
2. To reduce the interest on the bonds.
Refunding bonds must bear such date, be in such date, be in such denominations, and
mature serially within such time, not exceeding thirty years from date of issuance, as the board

determines. The average rate of interest on the bonds may not exceed the average rate of
interest on refunded bonds.
The treasurer of the district shall pay special assessment bonds as they mature and are
presented for payment out of the fund against which they are drawn and shall cancel the bonds
when paid. Any deficiency in any fund created for the payment of district bonds payable in whole
or in part out of collections of special assessment taxes must be the general obligation of the
district.
