(a) A bond resolution of a sewerage authority may provide for the issuance of bonds of the local unit or units in accordance with this section for the purpose stated in section ten. Such a bond resolution shall (1) determine and state the share of the cost of the project allocated and to be financed by each of the local units and (2) determine and state all of the details (except the rate or rates of interest payable thereon) of the bonds to be authorized and issued by each of the local units for the purpose of financing the project, all within the limitations and in accordance with the applicable requirements of article one of chapter one of Title 40 of the Revised Statutes (R.S., section 40:1-1 et seq.). A copy of such bond resolution, duly certified by the appropriate officer of the sewerage authority, shall be delivered to the governing body of each local unit. (b) Upon receipt of such certified copy of the bond resolution, each local unit may appropriate the share of the cost of the project allocated to it by the bond resolution and shall have power to incur indebtedness, borrow money and issue its negotiable bonds for the purpose of financing such project and appropriation. Such bonds shall comply with the description thereof stated in the bond resolution and, if the governing body of such local unit shall determine to issue the same, shall be authorized by municipal bond ordinance or county bond resolution, as the case may be, finally adopted by the governing body of the local unit in accordance with the limitations, and any exceptions thereto, and in the manner or mode of procedure prescribed by article one of chapter one of Title 40 of the Revised Statutes (R.S., section 40:1-1 et seq.) except that (1) the purpose of such bonds may be described and identified merely by reference to the bond resolution, and (2) no down payment shall be required. (c) If within ninety days after adoption of the bond resolution, the governing body of every local unit shall have adopted a municipal bond ordinance or county bond resolution authorizing the issuance of all of the bonds of such local unit contemplated and described in the bond resolution, no municipal bond ordinance or county bond resolution authorizing the issuance of any of the bonds contemplated and described in the bond resolution shall thereafter be repealed, amended or revoked, except with the previous consent of the sewerage authority. (d) Such bonds shall be sold by the sewerage authority in accordance with this section at such times and in such blocks or installments and bearing such rates of interest and for such prices not less than their par value as the sewerage authority may direct. Such bonds may be sold by the sewerage authority in the manner or mode of procedure prescribed by section 40:1-53 of article one of chapter one of Title 40 of the Revised Statutes (R.S., section 40:1-1 et seq.) but if not so sold, shall be sold only at public sale upon sealed proposals after at least seven days' notice published at least once in a publication carrying municipal bond notices and devoted primarily to financial news or the subject of State and municipal bonds, published in New York City or in New Jersey, to the bidder on whose bid the total loan may be made at the lowest net cost, such net cost to be computed, as to each bid, by adding to the total principal amount of the bonds which the bidder offers to accept, the total interest which will be paid under the terms of the bid, and deducting therefrom the amount bid for the bonds which shall not exceed by more than one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) the par value of the bonds offered for sale. Such bonds shall be executed by the appropriate officials of the local unit and delivered to the purchasers in accordance with the contract of sale and the proceeds thereof shall be paid to the sewerage authority.
